Student: Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) uses a student's full legal name in many of its day-to-day operations. In addition to SAGU's efforts to accurately identify students, this name is reported to state and federal authorities for financial aid, IRS, and other reporting purposes.
Therefore, any request for a name change must be accompanied by properly filed documents and identity information indicating that the student has legally changed his/her name with the relevant authorities. SAGU will not process requests for changes without such documentation.
Further, except for unusual circumstances, SAGU only updates the names of currently enrolled students (i.e., students who have enrolled within the last three semesters). Students who have to reapply to school to enroll in courses should submit name change documentation to Admissions.
Students should expect this process to take one business week to complete during normal operations. During times of heavy traffic (e.g., course selection, the beginning of the semester, graduation, etc.), it may take up to two business weeks to complete.
