Changing Your Display Name in PennO365

In some cases, you may need to change the display name in the PennO365 applications.  Follow the steps below:

  • Change your name in the Online Directory (https://directory.apps.upenn.edu/directory/jsp/fast2.do).  You will have to log in in the upper right if you are not already logged in.
  • Wait 15 minutes for the change to take. (It may take 24 hours to propagate to Outlook clients and more time for applications like Teams.  Historical references may show the old display name. )

Note: The default name format is "lastname, firstname."

Contact your LSP if you need assistance.
