We have two students who changed their legal names through the court system and also requested for their genders to be changed as well. We realize all data is tracked through the MOSIS number, however, should we do more to document this?

Answer

When a student has changes to their information, update the MOSIS ID to ensure that the student name or other changes over time can be viewed on that student's State ID history. When changing names or gender, the system will likely want to create a new ID, so it is important to ensure the existing State ID stays with the student.
