This service is used to identify which Student Name should be considered the Preferred Name for a Student in the PASI Core. The Student Preferred Name is the name that should be generally used to communicate with the student, however, it may not be the student’s legal name.

This service can be accessed by systems with the Submit Student User role.

The information provided as part of the request is a reference to the specific Student Name that should be treated as the preferred name for the student.

• Alberta Student Number (Student)
• Reference ID (Student Name)
• PASI Core Version

The following rules are used to validate the information provided in the request:

• Rule 9002 - Invalid ASN
• Rule 9006 - Invalid Reference ID
• Rule 9011 - Secondary ASN
• Rule 9014 - PASI Core Out of Date
• Rule 9065 - Student Association or Upcoming Exam Registration or HSED Application
• Rule 11237 - Student Name already set to preferred.

Once the information is successfully validated, the information will be recorded within the PASI Core.

The PASI Core Version (Student Health Version) for the student will be updated if the update changes which name record is identified as the as the ‘preferred name'.

PASI will create/update the student’s Elections Alberta Trigger record if the submission changes which student name record is identified as the student's Preferred Name.

When the student's Preferred Name is changed to reference a new Student Name record, a Student Status Processor Trigger is created to trigger recalculation of the Validation Status for the Student.

A response to a Submit Preferred Name request identifies if the request was successfully applied.

• Reference ID (Student Name)
• PASI Core Version

If not successful, the response identifies which validation rules failed.
