How To Change Your Display Name, Title, or Other Contact Details

Your display name, title, and other contact details are obtained from your SFU Directory settings at www.sfu.ca/sfuds.

Any changes made will apply to all Microsoft 365 services linked to your SFU account (SFU Mail, MS Teams, OneDrive, etc.), and you may be asked to re-log in to Microsoft 365 services to apply the changes. It may take up to one day for the changes to take effect.

Note: You'll need to be connected to Campus Networks or SFU VPN to access SFU Directory Services. Alternatively, you may use Self Serve Profile Management (mySFU) if you wish to only change your display name.

Step 1. Go to www.sfu.ca/sfuds on a web browser. Select "Login" and sign in to the SFU account you would like to modify.

 

Step 2. Once you are logged in, click "[ Edit My Entry ]" on the top right hand corner of the screen.

 

Step 3. Update your display name, title, or other contact details according to your needs. Click "Save Changes" to save your edits.

 

Step 4. Once it's been saved, you will see a "Saved Changes" message show up above the form.

 

How To Change Your Department Affiliation

If you feel that this needs to be corrected, please contact your department's technical support staff, or contact IT Service Desk.
