Name and surname change in university systems - overlay of the new name
Who Can Use This Support?
Anyone who wishes to use a different name than what appears in official documents, such as those undergoing gender transition. We aim to ensure that everyone at Wrocław University of Science and Technology feels comfortable using their chosen name. This support is available to students, doctoral candidates, and staff members.
Important Dates
It is best to submit requests for name changes in university IT systems before the start of the academic year. This will help you begin the semester without the stress of explaining your preferred name changes.
Note: This support does not cover changes to official documents, such as student ID cards. However, you may receive a confirmation document for the support provided.
How Long Can I Use This Support?
The name change remains valid indefinitely. Once you obtain a court ruling and a birth certificate with a new PESEL number, we will initiate the process of permanently updating your records in university systems and official documents such as diplomas, transcripts, and other academic records.
Can I Use This Support During a Dean’s or Medical Leave?
Yes.
