Changing Your OHIO ID

Description

Changing your OHIO ID is only for employees of Ohio University.

This article details the steps an employee of OHIO University will need to take to change their name for the various OHIO systems. In order to proceed through this process, the employee must have gone through the name change process with University Human Resources (UHR).

Note: Changing your OHIO ID in OHIO systems may cause some shared file links from your OneDrive to break. Your OHIO ID is part of the link that you can share with other OHIO members, so when you change your OHIO ID, you will need to re-share links to those files. In addition, some OHIO systems may require you to be added as a user again with your new OHIO ID.

Note: If you have not yet begun the name change process with UHR, you must contact them before proceeding to request an OHIO ID change through this process. You can contact UHR at UHR@ohio.edu or via phone at 740.593.1636.

Once you are ready to begin the process, please Request an OHIO ID Change.

In the form, you will need to provide:

  • Your OHIO ID selection should reflect your name or provide easily recognizable information for your account. Please note that inappropriate or unprofessional OHIO IDs will not be accepted. If the OHIO ID you have chosen is not available, an agent will contact you via email with alternatives.
• Transfer Date: A date that you would like to complete the transition
  • Your account will be inaccessible for up to 24 hours from the date you choose. Account changes will take place Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
