Muskegon Community College recognizes that many members of our community use names other than their legal names to identify themselves. As long as the use of a different name is not for the purposes of misrepresentation, the College agrees a student or employee may choose to identify themselves within the College’s information systems with a preferred first name in addition to their legal name.
To change your preferred name, please download, complete, and submit the Muskegon Community College Preferred Name Request Form and required documents to:
Student Welcome Center
221 South Quarterline Road
Muskegon, MI 49442
