Usernames for Coast Mountain College employees are formed from our legal names as accepted and confirmed by HR.
These usernames are needed for Network Services, myCMTN and Colleague logins.
While nickname/alias entries for alternative and preferred names can be requested, Information Security and organization continuity requires that the use of legal name format is not deviated from outside of instances where it is a Health and Safety concern for the individual employee.
But what if I change my legal name?
This can happen when a person gets married, divorces or pursues a legal name change.
In such an instance, the first step is to submit the proper documentation to HR in order for your legal name to be updated officially in their Records.
Once you have confirmation from HR that they have made this change, the next step is to proceed with a Name Change Request via our Service Catalogue.
A time and day will be set for these changes to take place of which you will be notified. In most cases this will be a window on 1 hour during the work day. During the process IT will be in contact to be certain the changeover occurs with minimal disruption.
