Students can indicate the true or preferred first name as they would like it to appear on unofficial documents, such as class lists, grade reports and unofficial transcripts.
To do this, students should submit the True/Preferred Name Form available in MyPortal or at deanza.edu/admissions/forms.
Students can also notify the college if they have legally changed their name as it appears on government and legal documents. This will enable the college to change the name that appears on official transcripts, 1098-T tax forms and other official documents. To do this, students should submit the Record Change Form available in MyPortal or at deanza.edu/admissions/forms.
The forms described here are intended for student use. Information about procedures for employees is available from the Foothill-De Anza district Human Resources office.
