Preferred Name

Preferred Name for Employees

Our current process is consistent with the CSU requirements. Legal name is used for HR records and the name must match the name in the SCO (State Controller’s Office) system. An employee requesting name change can do so by submitting the following forms to HR:

• For faculty and staff: Employee Action Request (EAR) (PDF) - Form - Std. 686
• For student assistants: CSU Student Payroll Action Request (SPAR) (PDF) - Form - Std.457

A Customer Service Center Representative, available by telephone at extension 3733, can help you identify which form to use.To file your name change, please take your completed form to the Customer Service Center, located on the ground floor of the C.L.A. Building 98, Room B1-20. You will need to bring your Bronco Card for identification and your new Social Security Card for verification purposes.

To change and/or update your display name on the online directory, faculty/staff may do so through Bronco411.
