1 49er ID card: Please be aware that if you have plans to use your 49er ID card for various legal, immigration, employment or voting purposes, the name listed on your 49er ID card may not match records maintained by other agencies outside of Charlotte.
2 Degree Audit: Shown when faculty, staff and advisors (not students) search for a student’s audit. The search will only consider PFN, if it exists. Finding the student using the legal first name does not work. There is currently no functionality to support searching by both the preferred name and the legal name.
3 While the official record and reporting must use legal first name, related communications on campus could utilize preferred first name, if it exists.
4 Google caches names. While Charlotte might reflect a new preferred first name, email recipients may maintain a cached version of the former first name, if a prior contact was made before the change. Therefore, each recipient has to update their own contact list to reflect the new name.
