Name Change — If you are a current student and would like the name you use at Casper College to match your gender identity and preferred name, you can fill out a name change form to do so. This is not a legal name change; but will allow you to update your student ID card, myCCinfo portal, student email address, and name on classroom rosters. To get the form or for any questions, please contact Elaine Monterastelli.
