    Name change
    I have recently changed my name via deed poll (nothing drastic) and I was wondering what to do about my UCAS application?

    Should I ring the University I've firmed or ring UCAS?

    Your exam results will probably under your previous name anyway since that is what will have been used at entry

    You need to phone UCAS. They will probably tell you to email the uni with a copy of your deed poll to show your name has been changed.

    And TenOfThem, that's fine but then the degree certificate at graduation would be made out in a name of a person that doesn't exist any more.
