Correct/Preferred Name Request
If you would like to change your name to a correct or preferred name, please fill out this form.
We offer the option for transgender and gender non-binary students to let their instructors know of their gender pronouns and correct/preferred name to be used in the classroom. Please use the button below if your correct/preferred name is different from your legal name.
Once you submit your request and it is processed, your name change will be reflected at CNM according to the table below. Additionally, on the first day of the next term, your instructors will be made aware of your correct/preferred name.
