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 chosen 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. For any questions, please contact Elaine Monterastelli.
