Body
IRIS and/or Banner control your information as shown in the directory or UT email. This includes but is not limited to, your name, phone number, job title, position, and department.
Faculty/Staff
You can change your "Known As" name in IRIS Employee Self-Service by following the instructions in KB: IRIS: Editing Personal Information in the IRIS Web Portal.
Students
You can contact the One Stop office to change your name. For more information, please visit https://onestop.utk.edu/contact-updates/. If you are affiliated with more than one UT campus, you'll need to contact those respective offices as well.

To update your chosen name:
- Go to myutk.utk.edu and sign in with your NetID and password.
- Click My Resources.
- Click Change Chosen Name.
Student Employees
Student Employees must check with One Stop AND your departmental payroll office or UT Human Resources to update their information in the IRIS ERP System. Student employees must follow both the above steps under Faculty/Staff and Students.
About Legal Names
While we have to keep a legal name on file, there are options for users to change their display name for the directory, email, and other UT systems so they can use a preferred name instead. A formal legal name change is not required to use this feature, and the legal name will continue to be stored in the directory under the tnOfficialName attribute, but will no longer be their display name. To set a display name, the user will need to work with the corresponding departments above based on your affiliation(s).
