Name information in iLearn is controlled by what a user has listed for their preferred name in the SFSU Gateway. If you would like a different name to appear in iLearn (ex: a nickname), you must update your name in the SFSU Gateway. This change may take up to 24 hours from the time you make the change in the SFSU Gateway to be reflected in iLearn. In addition, this change may affect how your name appears in other SFSU services as well.
