NAMES ON DIPLOMAS

If you have a preferred name that you would like to be in the graduation program and read at graduation, there will be a section on the diploma form where you can enter this information. 

PLEASE NOTE: if you are under 18 years of age, you MUST have a parent/guardian signature in order for us to use your preferred name in the program and at graduation.  This does not change the name on the diploma, that name MUST be your full legal name.
