Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) recently discovered that it was the victim of a data breach incident. With the privacy and security of our organization, its students, faculty, staff, and other community members who trust and rely on us as our priority, we took quick and thorough steps to secure our systems and activate additional cybersecurity protocols. Additional information about this incident can be a found on the 🔗Data Security Incident Page.
Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) recognizes that usage of primary names, whenever possible, is key to creating an inclusive and welcoming learning environment for all students. A primary name, sometimes referred to as preferred name, is a first name that students can designate to be used instead of a legal first name. Students may opt to use a primary name, however it is not required. Currently, students are able to request that the college update their LWTech email address and Canvas display name to reflect a primary name. It is important to note that making these changes to the student email address and Canvas display name is not the same as a legal name change through a court system.
To change your LWTech email address to your primary name, please contact the Enrollment Services office with your request. You will need to provide your legal name, Student ID Number, and your preferred name to be changed on your LWTech email and Canvas.
