About the UMassD Logon username

The UMassD Logon must preserve the uniqueness of each member of the UMass Dartmouth community. Therefore, once an individual is provided with a UMassD Logon (username), that logon can never change.  

When someone has a name change or a status change (i.e., from student to employee), the UMassD Logon cannot change to reflect this. However, you may request an email name change (an "alias") to represent this change to email senders and receivers. Please visit the alias page for more information.
