Students may update personal information such as name, address, and phone numbers by completing a Student Record Change form through the Walsh College Student Portal, by sending a request from a Walsh College email account, or by mailing or faxing a letter with the new information to the Records and Registration office. To ensure continued security of student information, students should use their student identification number on all Walsh College forms. Legal name, Social Security number, and/or birth date changes must be accompanied by legal documents verifying that the information is correct at the time the request is made. Students are responsible for any communication sent by Walsh College to the last address reported to the Records and Registration office.
Walsh College understands that students use names to identify themselves that may differ from their legal name. The College is able to use a chosen name on class schedules, class rosters, Walsh College email display, Moodle, student ID card, and My Progress/Program Plan. Students may also select a pronoun and gender identity that can be displayed in self-service for students. A chosen name, pronoun and/or gender identity can be added to a student’s record by adding this information directly to the User Profile section in Self-Service for Students or by completing a Student Record Change Form and submitting it to the Records and Registration office. A student’s legal name will be used on official college records such as transcripts, diplomas, commencement documents, enrollment verifications, financial aid and billing records, and I-20 forms. If a student wishes to change their legal name with the College, a Student Record Change form can be submitted to the Records & Registration office with appropriate supporting documentation.
