Explanation

CORE loads your name and preferred email when your CORE account is initially created when you start with OSU. After this point CORE does not upload any changes to your name or preferred email. This is a known limitation in CORE that is being addressed in newer data systems under development.

Resolution

Update your name or preferred email in CORE

1. Sign in to core.oregonstate.edu
2. Select your name in the in the upper-right corner
3. From the drop down that appears select "My Profile"
4. On your profile select the "Edit" button at the top of the page
5. Update you name or email and select "Save"
   1. Note: You can also choose to hide or show your employee profile picture in CORE on this page.
   2. Note: This will not modify how your name appears in CORE reports. It only changes your name associated with your account in CORE. If you want to change how you name appears in a CORE report this will probably require a change to your employee data in Banner.
