How do I get my preferred name to show up in Canvas?

Does your preferred name appear as desired in the Stanford Directory ↗︎?

• Yes -- Please email canvashelp@stanford.edu to request an update of your preferred name in Canvas. There is likely a technical glitch that caused the name not to be updated in Canvas.

• No -- Update your preferred name in Axess and this change will appear in Canvas after a day or so. (How do I change my preferred name?)
