Hussian College Visit

Your legal first name is important for colleges to be able to connect your application to other academic records like your FAFSA or standardized test scores. If you go by a different name, you're welcome to share that!

PCA&D's currently policy is to refer to you by the name you share as "your name", which may not necessarily be your Legal Name. For some students, the name that they go by may be sensitive information. Some students are comfortable sharing this name with colleges, but they do not want people like a parent or high school counselor to know that they use a different name.

Sharing the name that you go by is optional. If you're worried about someone other than PCA&D seeing this name, you do not have to share it. You can also contact us to learn more about our specific policies for name usage. We, like many colleges, have plans in place to help protect your privacy while allowing you to use another name on campus.
