Notice: Blackboard access will be discontinued August 20
Access to Blackboard will be discontinued effective August 20, 2025. GRCC employees and students will no longer have access to Blackboard starting on this date. Visit the Technology Learning Center (TLC) resource page for support, guides and tutorials.
A preferred name may be used by a student who prefers to use a name other than their legal name throughout their time at GRCC.
Preferred First Name Change
To use a preferred first name, you will need to change it through your Online Center under the Profile tile. Your preferred name will be used in Blackboard, class rosters, and on your RaiderCard. Your preferred name may also be used in additional areas, like counseling records, advising/success coach documentation, etc., but GRCC is not permitted to use a preferred name on legal documentation, including financial aid records, IRP documentation, FOIA responses, and transcripts.
GRCC Email Change
If you would like to have your GRCC email address changed to correspond with your preferred name, you will need to fill out the GRCC Email Change Request form. The form can be submitted with a government-issued photo ID or Student ID to the Student Records Office in person at the Student Services Center located on the 1st floor of RJF Hall or via email at studentrecords@grcc.edu. Upon submission of the form, GRCC will change the first name portion of your email address to correspond with the name that you use consistently at GRCC.
Note: If you have legally changed your name due to marriage, divorce or a court decree please refer to Frequently Asked Questions.
