Can I change my WUSTL Key username or university email address?
Yes, your WUSTL Key, used for login into applications, computers, and websites, along with your university email address, ending in @wustl.edu, utilized for most University communications, are synchronized and thus both change when the WUSTL Key is updated.
Example:
- If your WUSTL Key Username is JDoe1 and you request to have it changed to JDoe2 your WUSTL Key will change to JDoe2 and your email address will change to Jdoe2@wustl.edu.
When can I change my WUSTL Key username and university email address?
- A WUSTL Key username can only be changed in conjunction with a preferred or legal name change or if the existing WUSTL Key username compromises your identity, safety, or experience in any way.

- Verify and/or update your preferred name in WebSTAC or request a legal name change by contacting the Office of the University Registrar at either (314) 935-5908 or (314) 935-9818.
