I will not be able to provide you with a reply to your questions until the first part of next week. Also, you mentioned that Bronco Direct allows for secondary names.  I have not been able to confirm this.  Did I misunderstand?

No, you did not misunderstand. The last I checked BroncoDirect in late March, it was just after that recent overhaul of the system, and yes, at least in late March, they allowed for a student to have multiple names in the school records, one primary name and multiple secondary names. I just checked BroncoDirect, it's down for maintenance til midnight tonight, I'll look again later tonight if I can make it to midnight, or I'll just look again at dawn and do an print-screen to forward to you.

Talk to you soon,

I woke up and checked BroncoDirect, and saved an image of the screen and it is attached to this email. The table no longer says "secondary" as a category under the "name type" column, but in March that was listed as an option. Still, there are a lot of indicators left which say that the system itself accepts multiple names.

In the sidebar under "Personal Portfolio", it still reads "-- View My Names" which is in a plural form, and in the title bar at the top of the window, the page title reads also as "View My Names" which is also in a plural form. In the right, main view window which is titled with my old name, it reads under that old name, in bold, "Names" in a plural form, and on the chart itself it reads "Name Type" and "Primary" evoking the idea that the university can store multiple names --- that there can be more than one "type" of name, and that if there is a "primary" name that there can be hence "secondary" names. It also has a box to click on under the chart which reads "ADD A NEW NAME" suggesting by the word "add", as if adding to the list, that other names could be on the school records. When I clicked the box it didn't actually do anything but reload the page. In March, as I remember, when I clicked on the box, up came a message that I should go the registrar's office to have it done. The only inconsistencies with all these indicators are the sentences which give instructions to the student -- repeatedly it reads "name" in a singular form. So contrary to the instructions, the computer system itself nonetheless appears to indicate that they could very well keep my old name in the records if they desired, but allow me (as by law) to self-determine my primary name in the records.

Talk to you soon,
