Rename your MyCarletonOne Account

Your chosen name is the first name you commonly go by, and differs from your legal first name.

Carleton University requires that individuals use their legal name on all legal records and official documents (e.g. transcripts and Certificates of Enrolment).

The Chosen Name is fully supported in the following systems:

• Campus Card
• CU email address
• MyCarletonOne (MC1) account

• Requests to add, update, or remove the Chosen Name can be made through Carleton Central by clicking on ‘Personal Information/Preferred First Name’. This change will take effect within 2 working days.
• No supporting documentation is required but it is assumed that the request will be made in good faith.
• Once you submit a Chosen Name use the ITS customer portal to request your MC1 and email address reflect the change.
• You are entitled to a free replacement of your Campus Card after changing your chosen name, you do this by contacting the Campus Card office.
