Changes and Updates

The Registrar's Office provides instructions on updates to legal personal information, addresses, emergency contacts, and veteran status, as well as information on release of directory information and educational records: Updating Personal Information

Preferred Names

Rice University recognizes that students may choose to use a preferred first name other than their legal name to identify themselves.

The Registrar's Office provides information to students on submitting a preferred first name that will appear with or in place of the student's legal name in certain university-related records: Preferred First Name (and Legal Name).

NameCoach is a tool that allows students to record the correct pronunciation of their name and instructors to listen to it. Students can access NameCoach from Esther.

Pronouns

Students can select their personal pronouns for use in Canvas by following the instructions from the Canvas Community: How do I select personal pronouns in my user account as a student?
