You can change your first name yourself in most College systems by filling out one form! It may take up to a week for every system to update completely, but most should be updated within 24 hours. You can also get a new student ID with your correct name!

Just follow these steps:

1. First, go to https://myccp.online and log-in to your account.
2. In the menu at the top of the page, click the Student tab.
3. Once on the student tab, go the the left side column and select “Enrollment Services”
4. Under Enrollment Services, select “Update Contact Information” which will open a new tab or browser window.
5. In the new tab, find the section labeled “CHOSEN/PREFERRED FIRST NAME” (not in the instructions at the top, it’s a little further down the page).
6. Type in the name you want displayed in Canvas, and make sure it’s only your first name, do not include your last name or it will appear twice everywhere.
7. Double check that there are no typos, and click “Update Preferred Name”
8. Wait 24 hours to give time for our servers to update your name in Banner.

Then you’re done, please wait at least one business day before requesting a new student ID! If your canvas or email name is not updating within one week, please email 4ITSupport [at] ccp.edu (4ITSupport[at]ccp[dot]edu) for additional support!
