Short answer: You cannot change your name directly in MyLOFT, and the MyLOFT Support Team cannot make this change for you.
How to update your name
- Contact your institution or organization. User data (including names) is managed by your institution, not by MyLOFT.
- Identify the correct office:
- For students: registrar, student services, or the admissions office.
- For employees: human resources (HR) or payroll.
- For other account types: the administrative or IT help desk that manages your account.
- Prepare the required information and documents:
- Your current account name and any username or ID (student or employee number).
- The new name you want displayed.
- Supporting documents, if required (for example, government ID, marriage certificate, or legal name-change paperwork).
- Request the change: Contact the appropriate office using their preferred method (phone, email, in person) and provide the information and documents listed above. Ask them to update your account name in their systems.
- Confirm and check MyLOFT: After your institution updates your records, sign in to MyLOFT to confirm the name has been updated. If it does not update after a reasonable processing time, follow up with the office that made the change.
If you’re unsure who to contact, check your institution’s website for account or identity management instructions or contact the main help desk or switchboard for guidance.
