I would like to change my UW username.

Introduction

Username changes are allowed for the following reasons:

1. Legal name changes due to marriage, divorce or court decision
2. Username change to protect the identity of people involved in legal actions. 
3. Unprofessional usernames selected by the user before auto-generation of usernames existed
4. Unprofessional usernames (defined through common knowledge or popular culture)

The naming convention in Banner for the username is as follows. The ID is constructed from the first character of the user’s first name and up to seven characters of the user’s last name. Non-alphabetic characters other than periods, hyphens, and underscores are removed. If the ID is not unique, the last digit(s) are replaced with one-up numbers until the ID is unique.

Users may not select their username.

Available to

All users with an UW Domain account as long as one of the criterion listed above is met.
