Name and Address Changes

Name

In order to process a name change request efficiently, please read through the helpful guidelines outlined below:

• To request a name change through the University Registrar, you must be a currently enrolled student. Faculty and staff should contact Human Resources regarding name changes.
• Please fill out Section II on this form. If you do not know your 7-digit Student ID, please log in to the Student Information System (SIS) to obtain it.
• Provide one of the following official documents: court order, marriage license, or divorce decree, along with the Change of Name Request form, to the University Registrar’s Office, Yost Hall 110. (Sorry, we cannot accept photocopies unless they are notarized.)
• The only exception made for the above documentation requirements is for use of maiden name. When our records already indicate a maiden name, the change may be made without official documentation.

Please note the University does not process changes to historical records unless a retroactive court order is presented. Historical records include all student records while attending Case Western Reserve University.

The University Registrar is in compliance with all regulations; we thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions, please contact the University Registrar’s Office by email registrar@case.edu or phone 216.368.4310.

Address, Phone, and Other Contact Information

Address changes may be done online through the Student Information System (SIS). From the Student Center Homepage, scroll down to Personal Information, select "Addresses" in the drop down box, and click on either "edit" or "add a new address" depending on what needs to be updated. Phone numbers, emergency contacts and other information may also be updated via the Student Center.

If you live in a residence hall or fraternity/sorority house, questions regarding changes to residence hall addresses and telephone numbers should be directed to Housing, Residence Life & Greek Life.

If you are an international student, questions regarding changes to Foreign address should be directed to the Office of International Student Services.
