'Given Names and Surname' Versus 'Preferred Given Name and Surname'

Your Given Names and Surname are your names which appear on your legal identity documents. Your Given Names and Surname will be printed on your graduation certificate. Your Preferred Given Name is optional field which is captured in studentConnect.

If your Given Names is different to your Preferred Given Name, and you would like your Preferred Given Name to be read at your in-person graduation ceremony, you must:

• Notify us in the GFP Online Ordering Portal under the screen called "More Information"
• Ensure your Preferred Given Name is 100% correct in studentConnect

Important items to note: Deadline for updating Preferred Given Name in studetConnect and selecting Preferred Given Name in the GFP Online Ordering Portal is Tuesday, 26 November 2024. If you select to have your Preferred Given Name and Surname read at your in-person graduation ceremony, please note that no middle names will be read at the ceremony.

At Graduation, your legal Given Names and Surname will appear on your award certificate. When the presenter reads your name for you to cross the stage at your ceremony, you have the choice of being called by either your 'Given Names and Surname' or your 'Preferred Given Name and Surname'.

It is important that you provide the phonetic pronunciation of the names you have selected to be read at your ceremony, as it guides the presenter to read your name correctly.

Phonetic pronunciation of your given names and surname is saying them as they sound, not as they are written.

When you complete your ceremony registration via GFP Portal, you will be asked to provide a phonetic pronunciation for your name. For example:

• David Baranowski = David Ba-ra-nof-ski)
• Hooi Peng Soon = Hoo-ee P-eng S-oon
• Sanathanee Sachchithananthan = Sana-tha-nee Sach-chi-tha-nan-than
• Rebecca Malkkah Lachovitzki = Rebecca Mul-ka Lah-koh-vitz-kee
• Ravish Shekaraiah = Raveesh Shek-ra-ja

When you log into the GFP portal to order your regalia and redeem your tickets, you will also be provided with the option to record the correct pronunciation of your full name, creating a sounds file for the presenter to listen to.

Important items to note: Deadline for updating the Pronunciation of your Names to be read at your ceremony in the GFP Online Ordering Portal is Tuesday, 26 November 2024. Providing phonetic pronunciation for your name is an important step - it guides the presenter to read your name correctly, as they may not know you.
