Can I change my name on my student record?

If you would like to change your preferred name or preferred pronouns you can do so through Student Self-Service

If you would like to change your forename or surname on the Student Record system, please send your change of name document, such as Marriage Certificate, to the MySurrey Hive team via Surrey Support, so that your record can be updated.

Your name can only be changed while you are a registered student so please ensure you check that you details are correct on Student Self-Service while you are registered as enrolled. 

Names on certificates and/or Higher Education Achievement Records (HEAR) can be updated for awarded students. Applications should be made to the MySurrey Hive team via Surrey Support and must state the reason for requesting a new original certificate. Along with your URN (if known), full name at the time of study, programme, start/end years, date of birth, and the name of the institution you attended.
