Overview
You may only request a new eID if you currently have an eID in the legacy format (the eID is based on your name). Any individual who requests an eID change will receive an eID in the new format (randomized, non-identifiable). Changes are granted on a one-time, non-reversible basis and can be requested for any reason. Be aware that changing your eID also changes your JMU and/or Dukes email address(es).
For additional information, see the University Policy 1345 Legal and Chosen Names

Before requesting a new eID, be aware of the following:
