Diploma & Graduation
Changes to the way your first and middle names appear on your diploma can be made within the degree application without going through a legal name change.  You would just need to change your name in WebSIS. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information is accurate and up to date. To read how to have the name you would like on your diploma please go to the Registrar's website here: https://registrar.mit.edu/transcripts-records/diplomas<https://us16.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fregistrar.mit.edu%2Ftranscripts-records%2Fdiplomas&xid=4656a4ddec&uid=81007902&iid=d99119e6c9&pool=cts&v=2&c=1712594099&h=03709d22f6d694f0268bebb25f83fd929ecd0d2af51ed8641f9f4719fdf1d0b7>

You can also keep your legal name on your diploma but have your preferred name read out loud at graduation. To learn more about that please email are Philip Caudillo (philipc at mit.edu<mailto:philipc at mit.edu>).
