Legal Name:

All official University documents - including but not limited to transcripts, verifications, diplomas, financial aid and visa/travel-related documentation and communications, will reflect your legal name as established at the time that you enrolled.

To update your legal name, submit the Change of Name or Social Security Number on School Records Form to cardozoregistrar@yu.edu along with one of the following documents that indicate the legal change for your new name:

• Court order
• Marriage certificate
• Divorce document 
• Birth certificate

• Passport

   

Although the student's last name on school records must match their legal last name, students may indicate a preferred first name and middle name (see Student Handbook for more details).

*Important Notes:

Although YU considers the diploma to be a ceremonial document, some countries may require your diploma (along with your official transcript) for various legal, immigration, and employment purposes. Choosing to print your chosen/preferred name on your diploma may result in unforeseen complications due to the discrepancy between your diploma and other documents (e.g. transcript, passport, birth certificate, etc.) that contain your "primary" (i.e. legal) name. To avoid such complications, we recommend printing your legal name on your diploma if you plan to live, study, or work outside of the United States.

For Students of Professional Schools (e.g. Law, Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry): Before opting to print your chosen/preferred first name on your YU diploma, please take into consideration that professional licensing requirements often require you to use your legal name. For example, State Bar application and licensure and federal employment/guidelines require the use of the legal name. Therefore, not using your legal first name on a diploma may result in the rejection, delay, scrutiny, and/or requirements for additional proof of identification associated with any applications for employment, licensure, credentialing, visa applications, and/or other processes that require verification of your education records.

Students with One Name:

Yeshiva University understands that some of our students may have only one name.   For standardization purposes, it is the policy of the University to present students who have just one name in our student information systems, thusly: Last Name, FNU

In doing so, the University can identify and uniformly treat and report our students internally and to external agencies.
