The University's Online Directory (directory.uchicago.edu) contains contact information for faculty, students, staff, departments, alumni, affiliates, student organizations, and more. It is the main resource for the UChicago community and the general public.

You may change the way your name is displayed in Microsoft 365 through this service. Students may change their name only by visiting the office of the University Registrar in person. However, faculty and staff may follow these steps to change their display name:

1. Navigate to the Online Directory.
2. Click Sign In.
   
3. Choose your institution by selecting The University of Chicago or The University of Chicago Marine Biological Laboratory button.
   
4. Select Welcome on the right of your screen to edit your entry.
   
   
   
5. On the Modify Your Directory Entry screen, Click the Edit button next to your Preferred Name.
   
6. Enter your desired display name then click Save.
   
7. This will be the name you are listed under in the directory, the name displayed in Outlook on the web, and the name people will see when you send email from your Microsoft 365 account.
   
8. Your new preferred name will be displayed in a directory people search.
