<p>I took a leave of absence and withdrew from Stony Brook after the first semester of my junior year last December, and had a legal name change since then. I haven’t notified Stony Brook about the change since I was planning on transferring to City College for either the upcoming Spring 2015 or Fall 2015 semesters and wasn’t sure if I needed to do so in the first place. So my question is, is it necessary for me to go to Stony Brook and update my identification with the registrar, or can I just go through the CUNY application and send for my transcript from Stony Brook without worry? If I do have to update my ID, is there another way to change my name aside from going there in person?</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>You have to report all your grades and transcripts to the college you transfer to. You have to have unified names in your college registration or transcripts. </p>
