For employees and students, first and last names are changed automatically based on the name provided to IT via Titan Web (PeopleSoft). Usernames are never changed automatically, only first and last names are automated due to the wide-reaching impact of a user name change. Name changes are processed by IT nightly and the changes are automatically updated in email/Outlook, Gsuite, and the online directory among others.
