For legal name changes, please present a copy of your new Social Security Card to the Office of Talent, Culture, and Engagement, or to your department who can submit a scan of the card directly to hrrecords@uta.edu. In all cases, you must present the actual card either to your department or to the Office of Talent, Culture, and Engagement. A copy of the card cannot be accepted.
If you would like to update your email address to your new name, you can submit a request through the OIT Self Service Portal. Emails sent to your old email and your new email will display within the same email box, so as not to disrupt communications.
To update your preferred name, email your request to AskHR@uta.edu. The Office of Talent, Culture, and Engagement will update your preferred name, which will display across most university systems that use a preferred or displayed name.
Preferred name changes do not update the name displayed in UTShare or on legal documents, such as paychecks and W-2s.
