Can I change my WashU Key username or university email address?
Yes, your WashU 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 WashU Key is updated.
Example:
- If your WashU Key Username is JDoe1 and you request to have it changed to JDoe2 your WashU Key will change to JDoe2 and your email address will change to Jdoe2@wustl.edu.
When can I change my WashU Key username and university email address?
- A WashU Key username can only be changed in conjunction with a preferred or legal name change or if the existing WashU Key username compromises your identity, safety, or experience in any way.
How do I initiate the change?
- Using Workday, verify and/or update your preferred name and legal name.
- Like faculty and staff, students’ legal name changes will route to the appropriate parties in Workday for approval. (See step 13 above).
- Once you have verified your name has been changed please contact Student Technology Services/TechDen at (314) 935-7100
- Using Workday, verify and/or update your preferred name and legal name.
- Please Note: Legal name changes require one to upload supporting documentation to Workday in the form of a legal certificate (Marriage, Divorce, etc.) and your new Social Security Card reflecting the new name.
- Once you have verified your name has been changed please contact the WashU IT Service Desk at (314) 933-3333
Additional Information
- After your WashU Key username and university email address change you may need to log into Office365 again using your new credentials (username and password).
- All email sent to your old university email address will automatically be delivered to your new university email address.
