Chosen Name Change Form & Instructions
Fall Open Houses 2026
Follow Your Heart. Shape Your Future.
Join us at an upcoming Open House to tour campus, meet expert faculty, and explore your future major.
Students, faculty and staff submit the Chosen Name Change Request Form to notify SHU of your Chosen Name.
Check your Student Planning & Advising (SPA) account before submitting this form. If you provided a “Preferred” name to SHU before September, 2023, that name will populate the Chosen Name field as SHU Systems are updated.
Students, faculty and staff provide their pronouns to SHU by the following steps:
- Log into your SPA account
- Choose “User Profile”
- Choose “Edit Personal Identity”
- There is a drop down menu to choose from a list of common pronouns. If you do not see the pronouns you use, contact Brittany Gates at gatesb@sacredheart.edu or the general equitycompliance@sacredheart.edu for assistance.
