West Virginia University recognizes the importance of using preferred first names for students and strives to create a welcoming campus environment for all Mountaineers.
While some campus processes and systems require legal names to be listed, campus
systems such as Banner, Degree Works, and eCampus can display preferred first names.

Office of University Registrar.
