Under Basic Settings, click on your name. A pop-up box will appear where you can update your name. When you're done editing, click Save.
We automatically capitalize the first letter of your first name, middle name, and last name. We apologize if you have any capitals in the middle of your name.

If you used a third-party sign-in when you created your Going Merry account (for example, Google Sign In or Apple Sign In), you will be prompted to enter your new email address and set a password. You can continue to use Google or Apple Sign In to log in to your Going Merry account.
If you did not sign up using a third-party sign-in, you will only be prompted to enter your new email address:
Your new email will not be active until you verify it. Check your inbox for an email asking you to verify your new email.
Please note, we can only change your account email address to one that does not already have a Going Merry account and we cannot combine two separate accounts.
If your financial aid offer wasn't enough to cover your bill, we recommend you submit an appeal. Learn more about financial aid appeals here.
If you'll need a student loan to cover the rest, begin by researching the lender that will give you the best rate. Most private lenders allow you to answer a few questions risk-free and then get your estimated interest rate. You’re under no obligation to actually get the loan. We recommend checking with Earnest first. Get your rate estimate from Earnest here.
