myLSU Portal: Directory Information Display Name

This article has not been updated recently and may contain dated material.
NOTE: This article is only for all students who are NOT also student workers; student employees must use Workday to change the display name. See GROK Article 17046 on how to use Workday to change it.
NOTE: This process only changes your display name, NOT legal name. To change your legal name, please contact Registrar. (If student worker, please contact HR.)

4. In the Directory Name field, make any desired changes to your Display Name. While this will not change Full Name (that is your legal name; see top of page to change this), it will update your Display Name in other applications like Zoom and LSUMail. Make sure this name is appropriate for all LSU purposes.
