[La-cgs] Name Issue

[Sushma Krishnamurthy]

Dear All -

I was wondering how you handle admissions when a student has only one name (first name). Our system requires a first and last name (required fields), which then becomes the student's permanent record (unless there’s a legal change in name).

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.
Anyone run into this issue? How do you handle this? We are a Banner and Recruit School

When a student graduates, the name in the system is used on the degree certificate, so it is important to get it right.
Regards,
Sushma
