Name and Email Address Changes

The SOM will communicate with medical students exclusively via the student’s UTRGV email. The UTRGV domain account for students will be provisioned as the first and last name of the user matching the data on file with the Registrar’s Office. This is done to allow automated account provisioning for students as follows:

First.Last01@utrgv.edu

First.Last02@utrgv.edu (digits are added in case of existing duplicates)

First.MiddleInitial.Last03@utrgv.edu (middle initial and digits are added in case of existing duplicates)

Change of Information Including Address, Emergency Contact, and Name Changes

Students must submit a SOM Change of Information Including Name Changes Form to the SOM Registrar Services when there is a change in address, emergency contact or in cases of a name change (marriage, divorce or other). This form can be found in the “Forms” section of the SOM Registrar Services web page. For legal name changes (marriage, divorce, or correction to initial entry mistake) submit appropriate documentation as specified in the form. Students must submit the completed form to the Registrar Services, either in person at EMEBL 1.117, or via Email at: SOMRegistrarServices@utrgv.edu. After the record is updated, the student may submit a service request to have the email account changed, if that is his or her wish.
