    Any student at UT may request to use a chosen first name without providing legal documentation. This name will appear in most university systems.

    1. Log in to MyUTK using your NetID and password
    2. Select Change Chosen Name from the My Resources menu
    3. Enter your chosen name on the landing page and click Update Chosen Name

    Note: It can take up to 24 hours for the update to appear throughout UT’s systems.

    Other Updates

    Please upload a copy of your legal documents that reflect your name change into your DASH document records. This can be found under the Me tab in DASH following this path: Me > Document Records > Add. You don’t need to complete a new W-4, but if you would like to update your tax withholding, this can be done in DASH: Me > Pay > Tax Withholding.

    After you upload the documents, submit your name change in DASH through your personal details section. HR will review the documents you load, then process the name change request you submit.
