The date of birth on my student record is wrong, can you update it for me?
Your legal name and date of birth are displayed in the Personal Details Section of Online Registration.
What to do if the information displayed is inaccurate
Check that the information displayed on the personal details page is correct; this is how your name is entered in the central student records database. The information here was entered at the time of your admission to the University using documents and details supplied by you.
To change this information (including adding a missing middle name) you will need to supply documentary evidence to show that these changes reflect the way that your name is legally recognised. Documents which we can accept are your passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce certificate, or Deed Poll Record (whichever is appropriate). For International Students your name must appear as it does on your passport and visa; if these documents do not correspond it may affect your right to remain in the UK.
If you are a transgender student seeking to update your student records, examples of proof that we will also accept are: a Change of Name deed, Statutory Declaration, or Gender Recognition Certificate.
We can amend your name and date of birth on your record at any time during your studies.
Please note, if you have a student loan with the Student Loans Company, please ensure you update your name with them to match the records here at the University. This is to ensure confirmation of your attendance can be processed in a timely manner and mitigate potential delays to you receiving your loan and/or maintenance.
