If students would like to provide the pronunciation of their name as an audio recording and/or phonetic spelling, they can do so via Student Self Service. These can now also be accessed by staff and fellow students in a Canvas course via three tools: People, Discussions and Sign-up. For more information, go to the Student name pronunciations section of the staff guide to using Canvas at Oxford.
This option is not currently available for staff names, except where a staff member was previously a student and had recorded their preferred name pronunciation. It is the individual's responsibility to ensure that their recorded pronunciations are accurate and up to date. If the details are not accurate and the person no longer has access to Student Self-Service, they should contact the Student Systems Support Centre.
