Making changes to your student record

If your name has changed or is incorrect, please bring official documentation (passport, driving licence, marriage certificate or official deed poll) to the School hubs.
The changes will be copied to your student record, which is used by staff in both academic and administrative departments.
Please note that your name as shown on the Student Record System will appear on your Graduation Certificate and transcript and cannot be changed after they are issued.
If you have another first name you would prefer to be known as, please let us know by updating your My Details section in My Goldsmiths. Your preferred name must be a single name with no spaces and no special characters. Your preferred name will appear when you sign-in to most of our services, including Library Search, Microsoft Outlook, Reading Lists, the Goldsmiths App and Careers SkillSPACE. Some services will still display your legal first name.
Goldsmiths reserves the right to reject and remove a preferred name if it is inappropriate. Preferred names used as misrepresentation or fraud can result in disciplinary action in accordance with college policies and regulations.
See Privacy notice: Students for more information on how we will use the name you enter.
