Chosen First Name

A chosen first name is the first name that you commonly go by and differs from your legal first name. Students can request a chosen first name through Carleton360 (click on Carleton Central, ‘Chosen Name’ from the ‘Personal Information’ menu to get started).

At present, the chosen first name is fully supported in the following systems:

• Campus Card/U-Pass
• Carleton email address (cMail)
• MyCarletonOne
• Class lists and grading
• Brightspace
• myAudit results
• Diploma (available upon request)

For more information about the chosen first name, including a “How To Change your Chosen First Name Video,” please visit the Registrar’s Office website.
