Preferred Name

MSU Denver is aware that many of its students use a first name other than their legal name.  As part of being a welcoming and inclusive campus, MSU Denver will implement changes to increase the use of the preferred first name. However, a student’s legal first name will continue to be necessary in certain records and communications; therefore, both the legal first name and preferred name (if desired) will be stored within primary information systems. A student can add/update a preferred first name in their Student Hub.
