Change or correct your name, title, date of birth or gender

 

Students are encouraged to seek support whenever needed. 
Please visit the Health, Safety & Wellbeing webpage for available support services. 

Is your date of birth displaying incorrectly on ISIS? 
ANU webpages display your name according to your web browser's date format settings, so if the date and month appear to have been switched this may be an issue with your browser settings rather than your ANU record. See here for instructions on updating your browser date format settings: https://services.anu.edu.au/files/document-collection/Changing%20browser%20date%20format_0.pdf

 

Checking your current details

You can check the primary (official) name, date of birth and citizenship status listed on your University record on your ISIS account via the quick link to 'Personal Information' on the ISIS homepage, or via the pathway:

  • NavBar (compass icon) > Menu > ISIS > Personal Details > Personal Information

This record is used on official University documents like your official Academic Transcript, Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) and Testamur.
