10 CHANGE OF SURNAME
10.1 CHANGE BY REPUTE
When a principal receives a written request from an adult student or the parent(s) of
a student who is not an adult that the student be identified by a surname other than
the legal surname of the student and when (a) the student is known by a surname
other than his or her legal surname, (b) the surname is a name obtained by repute, and (c) the use of the surname is in the student’s best interests, the principal will record the requested surname in Part A of the OSR folder in addition to the legal surname of the student, and the requested surname will be used henceforth. In this case, the legal sur- name will be enclosed in brackets. The written request will be stored in the documenta- tion file (see section 3.4).
10.2 CHANGE BY MARRIAGE
When a principal receives a document that establishes that a student for whom the prin- cipal maintains an OSR has had his or her surname changed by marriage, the principal will file the document, a copy of the document, or a verification of his or her knowledge of the document in the documentation file, and will change the surname of the student on all current and future components of the OSR.
10.3 CHANGE BY LAW
When a principal receives a document that establishes that a student for whom the prin- cipal maintains an OSR has had his or her surname changed in accordance with the law of the province, state, or country in which the document was made, the principal will file the document, a copy of the document, or a verification of his or her knowledge of the document in the documentation file, and, on request, will change the surname of the student on all components of the OSR so that the record will appear as if originally established in the new surname.
