When completing your application, you must enter your legal name exactly as it appears on official documents (such as your government-issued ID, passport, or birth certificate).


Using your legal name ensures that your records match across important systems, including:

  1. Tuition Financing
  2. Transcripts and academic records
  3. Enrollment and identity verification


If your application name does not match your legal documents, it may result in processing delays or required corrections.
