Display Name

[lcherry109]

My display name shows my middle name. How can I change it to just my first and last name instead?

Good morning, @lcherry109 ...

One of these Guides might be of help to you:

• How do I edit my profile in my user account as a student?
• How do I edit my profile in my user account as an instructor?

If you are unable to edit your name, you may need to contact folks at your school who can help...such as local Canvas administrators or someone from your school's Online Learning / eLearning department.

Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

Hi Chris!

I seem that I am not able to change my display name?

If you are not able to change your display name, you'll need to have a conversation with Canvas administrators at your school.  Canvas Community members here wouldn't be able to help with this because we don't have access to your school's Canvas environment.  Sorry that we can't help...but I hope this helps to answer your question.
