Colleagues,
 
For the record, the University of East London also refuses to re-issue
certificates in changed names, except in the case of gender reassignment, but
we do get an enormous amount of flak (particularly from divorcees).

Margaret,

We at St.Andrews do not acknowledge name changes after the Certificate is
issued, except, when we had a HE student that became a SHE graduate. As She
was now legally a Miss we felt that there was justification in changing the
certificate.

There's always an exception !

Dear Colleagues

It is the policy at JMU to issue certificates in the legally registered name
of a student at the time of conferment.  We have had a growing number of
approaches from former students who have changed their name since completing
and are requesting a replacement certificate in the new name.

I should be grateful if you would inform me of the policy/practice in your
institution.
Do you issue certificates with retrospective name changes?
If your policy is not to issue amended certificates, is there provision to
waive the rules and in what circumstances would you do this, what supporting
documentary evidence would you require?

Thank you for your help in this matter.
