Students’ preferred names now in Blackboard

Blackboard is now updated to reflect students’ “preferred” names, as listed in myWSU.

The change was made in response to a student request to match best practices for displaying preferred names for students. The change will be effective Thursday, Oct. 15.

Students’ preferred names will appear in Blackboard on the roster and the grade book. Please email provost.social@wsu.edu with any questions or comments.
