As a DePaul faculty, staff or student employee, you can make changes to the information that shows up in the Outlook Address book, including your title, department, office location, and phone number.
Name Changes
To change your full name in the Outlook address book in the case of marriage, divorce, etc., employees must legally change your name through
DePaul Human Resources first. Student employees should contact
DePaul Central to get their last name changed. Once Human Resources or the University Registrar changes your name in DePaul's PeopleSoft system, send an email request to
netadmin@depaul.edu and they will work with you on making this change. Note that a name change may generate a new Campus Connect ID and Outlook email ID.
Preferred Names
For students who would like to change their first name to a preferred first name, that can be done via Campus Connect by navigating to Campus Connect > Student Homepage > Profile > Names and updating the information there.
For employees, this can be done via BlueSky by navigating to BlueSky > Personal Info > Personal Details > Known As.
Adding or updating a preferred name in Campus Connect/BlueSky will update the first name displayed in the Outlook Directory. When entering your name in the "Known As" field, please include your preferred first name and your last name (IE. Johnny Smith for John Smith). Please note it may take 24-48 hours for this update to be visible.
Directory Information Change
If a current DePaul employee needs to make any changes to the information that shows up in the Outlook Address book (e.g. title changes, change in departments or office location, new phone number, etc.), they can make these account updates via a self-service update page in Campus Connect by going to
Self Service-> Campus Personal Information->Outlook Directory. Please note these changes may take 24-48 hours before they show up for others in the Global Address Book and the Global Address Book may need to be manually updated for changes to appear properly.
