MIT Diploma & Graduation
Changes to the way your first and middle names appear on your diploma can be made within the degree application without going through a legal name change. You would just need to change your name in WebSIS. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information is accurate and up to date. To read how to have the name you would like on your diploma please go to the Registrar's website here. You can also keep your legal name on your diploma but have your preferred name read out loud at graduation. To learn more about that please email Philip Clyff.
Diplomas | MIT Registrar
All MIT graduates receive a traditional paper diploma and can opt-in to receive a digital diploma. You may also request a replacement diploma if the original is lost or damaged, or in the case of a gender change.By default, your MIT diploma displays your legal name at the time of your graduation; it is also the name read at the Commencement ceremonies. We strongly recommend using your legal name to ensure that your credential can be verified in MIT’s systems and by third parties such as government entities and international employers.
