A student's forename and surname are combined to
form part of a user login ID. To avoid students having to
type in a long user ID, please consider using only the
student's first forename.

If a student has a preferred forename name that he or

she would like to use then just give this name. Please
avoid using extraneous characters such as brackets or
quote marks.
