FILING A CHANGE OF INFORMATION FORM

The name on your CCNY records must match the name on the identification document presented to the ID Office. If there are discrepancies between the name on an applicant's proof of identity and the Admissions documents/Records (e.g.. different name due to divorce, marriage or change of name), the applicant must reconcile these data by filing a change of information form with the Registrar, with one of the acceptable identification documents listed above.

Step 1: Present information authenticating your identity to the CCNY Registrar.

Step 2: Bring proof of the name change obtained from the registrar's office to the ID Office along with your 30 day temporary ID card.  You will be issued a validated ID card.

If the records have not been reconciled with the 30 day temporary ID expiration date, the expired card is subject to confiscation and further access to the campus facilities will be prohibited.  A "STOP" code may be placed on your CCNY records.
