Once you have been officially awarded a qualification, credit or other academic achievement from the University of Greenwich we are unable to make amendments to the name held on our Student Records System or make alterations to the name presented on the award documents*.
This means that the name shown on your certificate will be your full name at the time of conferral. A change of name after that date will not result in a change of name on your certificate.
This is in accordance with university regulations and guidance agreed to at the point of registration. Most of this information can be found in the Principal Conditions of Registration
When you initially registered with the University of Greenwich, a member of staff (or a representative at our partner, network or collaborative institution) will have used identity documents (i.e. a passport) to confirm, and amend if necessary, the details held.
Should you undergo a change of name during your studies you must inform the relevant Student Centre, and provide documentary evidence (e.g. marriage certificate, deed poll), this evidence will then be scanned and stored against your student record.
*Exception
The University of Greenwich will look at requests for a change of name on award documentation if, as an alumnus, you have changed your name due to identifying as transgender or have undergone gender reassignment. To make a request, please contact the Certificates and Transcript Team directly by email (certificates@gre.ac.uk) for advice.
