Thaks Carol. Apparently for visas, it is ok to have one name - a 'given name' . However, our admissions system does not allow one name and we don't know how to go around this. </div>

<span class="x_xcontentpasted0">If we use the first name as a last name, the system rejects it, as the first name field is left empty. Using N/A is not an option as that then becomes the first name. </span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black"></span></p>
