LSUMail: Update Display Name
The display name information is updated automatically based on information provided to the university. If a user requests a name change (for example, if they get married or divorced and request the name change through Human Resources), this information will also change in LSUMail. If you prefer an alternative name or nick name to display in LSUMail, you can update the Display Name in the myLSU Portal.
NOTE: The steps below only change the Display Name for the LSUMail account associated with your primary myLSU account. To change a display name for a non-primary account, please contact the ITS Service Desk. This change will need to be completed by the e-mail team.
NOTE: These steps will only work if you are a Faculty, Staff, or Student Worker at LSU. If you are a regular student who is not working a student job, please see the following article for how to change your display name: myLSU Portal: Directory Information & Student Display Name
