Change of Information Policy

The Connecticut State University System has an identity theft prevention program in place. This program is in compliance with the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act and the Federal Trade Commission's 'Red Flag Rules.' Thus, the Office of the Registrar at Eastern Connecticut State University has established the following protocol for when a student/former student seeks to change any of the following identifying information: Name, Address, Telephone Number, Social Security Number or Gender.

Current Students are able to change their address and telephone number via eWeb. If the student is unable to log into eWeb or attempting to update other information, they will need to complete the form below.

NOTE: It is the student's responsibility to notify the Registrar's Office of their address and of any subsequent changes of name, address, and other changes to their identifying information.

In order to update/add personal information to your Eastern Record, the student/former student must fill out a Change of Information Form and provide the respective documentation. It is recommended that all changes are made in person at the Registrar's Office on the first floor of the Wood Support Services Building. The student/former student will need to provide a valid photo ID. The following will also need to be submitted to verify the appropriate change:

Name Change: Official marriage certificate, birth certificate, or other legal documentation indicating the change of name. Note: If the change is a simple misspelling correction, a Government Photo ID with the correct spelling will suffice, such as a Driver's License.
Address Change: Proof of new address on utility bill or driver's license
Phone Number Change: Proof of new phone number on phone bill
Social Security Number: Copy of social security card
Date of Birth: Legal document with correct date of birth such as driver's license or birth certificate
Gender:Copy of legal document outlining change of gender

*If the student/former student cannot bring the documents to the office, the information can be faxed to the office at 860-465-4382. The office has a secure fax line. If the documents are faxed, we will ask for a phone number to call and verify the student/former student's identity to ensure the legitimacy of the change(s) being requested. 

We will accept some documentation via email (registrar@easternct.edu), however, any sensitive documentation such as a Social Security Card must be sent via our Secure Fax.
