Please use the Change Personal Details form above to inform us if you:

Change of Name

Please send your request to change your name, either in writing to Registry, or by emailing us from your student account.

You should enclose a copy of a form of identification with your former name (other than your student id card), with your application, i.e. a driver's licence or a copy of the relevant pages of your passport

In addition, your application should be accompanied by either a copy of a marriage or divorce certificate, or a Deed Poll certificate. Scanned copies of supporting documentation are acceptable

Current students who notify us of a change of name after they have registered their intention to graduate should be aware that it may not always be possible to graduate using their new name(s) and should check with the Graduations Team, Registry, accordingly

Once you have graduated it is not possible to retrospectively change the name held on your record or produce documentation in your new name (unless the name change is related to a gender reassignment).

Change of Nationality

If you wish to request a change be made to your nationality, please be aware that in accordance with Scottish Government fee regulations, your fee status cannot be changed once you are on programme, except in exceptional circumstances.

A change in nationality may affect your funding if you are in receipt of a University scholarship or bursary

Please send your request to change your nationality, either in writing to Registry, or by emailing from your student account

You should enclose a copy of your current passport (a scanned copy is acceptable) and you may be asked for further documentation
