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).

As She was now legally a Miss we felt that there was justification in changing the certificate. There's always an exception ! At 12:38 23/01/02 +0000, you wrote: 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.
