Change of Name, SSN, DOB or Gender

To change legal/primary name, SSN or ITIN, date of birth (DOB), or gender on your official academic record, students complete the Personal Data Change form on the MyCompass forms website. After submitting the form, it will first route to your Horizon email so you can upload documentation. Once documentation is attached and form is approved by student, the form will route to Registrar’s for processing. Students who do not have access to MyCompass forms should complete a PDF version of the Personal Data Change Form and follow the instructions on the form.  Forms are processed within 3-5 business days of receipt by Registrar’s. 

A guide to obtaining gender change documentation is available here. 

Update Preferred Name or Degree Name 

Students may update their preferred first and/or middle name that will be viewed on the class roster, grade roster, and in MyCSUEB. The “primary” name will continue to appear on official academic records such as transcripts. Students should continue to use their primary names when conducting official university business.

Students that want a name other than their “primary” name printed on their diploma can update the first and/or middle name of the degree name. More information about degree name can be found on the diploma website. 

In order to change your preferred name or degree name, students should go to MyCSUEB, select the Profile tile and then select ‘Pref Name’. 

Change of Address

To make changes to your permanent (home) address record, or your mailing (local) (mailing) address, enter the changes online directly in MyCSUEB.
