How to change your preferred/display name in MySlice
Are you looking to change the way your name is displayed in your email, MySlice, Blackboard, etc.? Follow the instructions below.
Log Into MySlice
Log into MySlice with your NetID and password. These credentials are manageable on the NetID self-service page that was used to activate your account.
Please find the "Personal Services" applet. Select "View/Update Names."
Next to "Preferred" click on "edit."
Enter your preferred name information and click "save." You should log out and back into any resources to see the change. Keep in mind the change can take a few hours to propagate throughout the various systems.
PRIMARY NAME CHANGE
Users are not allowed to change their primary name - only their preferred name. If you have an official name change, please check with Human Resources if you're faculty/staff and the Registrar if you're a student. They require official documentation in order to process an official name change. If you need further assistance with this process, please see our FAQs: https://answers.syr.edu/x/RQqwAg or call the Help Desk at 315-443-2677.
