Summary
Use this request for changes to your Bowdoin account that Information Technology makes directly — such as a legal name change, an email display name change, or a professional alias.
When to Use This
Use this offering for changes such as:
- Legal name change
- Email display name change
- Requesting a professional alias, or removing one
- Other account attribute changes that IT handles
When NOT to Use This
Don't use this offering if:
- You want to change your display or preferred name — that's done through Workday, not IT
- You need a department or title change — those come from Human Resources through Workday and update your account automatically
- You want to change how you appear in the online directory — use Online Directory Change
- You can't sign in or need a password reset — use Sign-In & Account Access
Before You Submit
Have ready:
- Your full name and/or username
- The attribute to be updated — provide both the current value and the new value
- An ideal time, during business hours, when you can sign out and back in so the change can take effect
What Happens Next
A technician reviews and applies the change, coordinating a sign-out/sign-in window with you where needed. Most account changes are resolved within 3–5 business days.
