UBITName Change Request

Description

UBITNames are generated by an algorithm and assigned at application submission or at employment. You are eligible to receive a different UBITName if any of these is true:

  • You legally changed your name, and it has been processed by the appropriate UB administrative office and updated in the University Online Directory.
  • Students who have set a preferred name through HUB due to reasons of gender identity.
  • The automatically created UBITName is agreed to be obscene or offensive.
  • You are newly appointed faculty or staff and the automatically created UBITName differs from your identity at a former institution or professional field, or is confusing to others.

Who can use this service?

UB students, faculty, and staff
