FNU or First Name Unknown

ASR recently began offering an explanatory letter to students who have only one legal name (like Prince) in PeopleSoft. The letter explains that the University has changed how single names appear on a student's official documents. This includes transcripts, transmissions to the National Student Clearinghouse, Direct Loans, and certification letters. These documents will now match those issued by the Social Security Administration, meaning that FNU (First Name Unknown) will be used in the first name location. The letter is available to staff who produce transcripts and certification letters. For questions, contact Pat Rickard.
