Update personal or contact details

Log in to mySI-net to update your title:

1. Go to 'Personal Details' > 'Title'.
2. Enter your new title (or name prefix) from the drop-down options.

If your date of birth (DOB) has been entered incorrectly in your application to UQ, it will display incorrectly on mySI-net.

Log in to the my.UQ dashboard to update your date of birth:

1. Go to the 'My requests' tab
2. Click on the 'New request' button
3. Search for 'Change of Personal Details form'
4. Complete the form details and check the box that says  'Correct an error in your date of birth' under the 'Changes and corrections heading'
5. Submit the form 

If you would prefer to use a name other than your legal name, you can make this change using the Name Details page in mySI-net. You don't need to provide any supporting documents.

At the moment, adding a preferred name to your student record will not update your details in all UQ systems (including Blackboard), which may use your legal name by default. We're working on improving this so that your preferred name can be used unless legal names are required.

We don't automatically update your email after changing your name, as this may impact your account. You can change the 'display name' of your email address, or request to change your email address.

If your legal name is incorrect in mySI-net, you can apply to have it updated through the my.UQ dashboard.

When you submit a request, you must provide a scan or photograph of current and original documents that confirm your identity.

We can only change your name to reflect what's shown on appropriate documents. We can't make any other changes.

You can provide us with a scan or photograph of the following original documents:

Preferred

Acceptable

We don't automatically update your email after changing your name, as this may impact your account. You can request to change your email address.

Potential graduands will receive an email with instructions. Follow the steps in the email to ensure your name is displayed appropriately.
