If you notice any information on your records that need to be corrected or updated, Summer Sessions can assist you with making this change. Please DO NOT submit another application, as this will cause further delays.
For Name Correction/Update Requests
You can submit a Legal Name Change Request via your CalCentral portal by going to your My Dashboard tab and locating the form in the Student Resources card under Submit a Form. Please see the screenshot below:
The Registrar's Office will receive your request and process it accordingly. Please allow 7-10 business days before the update reflects on your CalCentral.
For students whose CalCentral accounts have transitioned to the Alumni portal, you can access the Legal Name Change Request form via the Forms option. Please see the screenshot below:
If you want to add a preferred name, you can do this via CalCentral. Log in on CalCentral and change your preferred name.
International Students and Form I-20: Based on U.S. regulations, the I-20 will be issued with the name on the passport’s biographical page code (located at the bottom of that page). If the name in your application form is different than what is on the passport, we will update your records with Berkeley Summer Sessions and use the name on your passport.
For Date of Birth or Gender Correction/Update Requests
Please reach out to the Student Services team through our inquiry form.
