It is critical that registrars have name types that can be used with confidence in documents such as class rosters, transcripts, grade reports, etc. It is a critical student service to have more than one name type and that the multiple name types can be used in various types of processing and reports. For example, Mary Elizabeth Smith may wish to be known as Mary Beth Smith and Paul Bruce Smith may prefer to be known as P. Bruce Smith. In addition to allowing the preferred name to appear on official documents, the practice is more friendly to faculty and students in the classroom. Admissions has a need to collect, store and use nick names during the recruiting process.
Admissions also has concerns about the complexity of data entry of the various name types.
Allow reports such as Class Rosters, Final Grade Reports, and Transcripts print students preferred names. Primary Name will continue as recommended in the CC Analysis team default option.
