I'm getting married next weekend and I'm confused as to how the changing of your last name process works. I am changing my last name I understand all the DMV and SSA thing. What I'm confused about is my degree and credentials. I have two degrees from two seperate colleges and a teaching credential all under my maiden name. Do I need to contact these institutions and file a change of name as well?

I think it comes down to personal preference, but I'm not certain. I just know I've seen degrees on people's walls (dentist's office, professor's, etc) that have maiden names only on them before. I also have a friend who had to get her name changed with her university between her first BA and her second because she divorced and re-married, but I don't recall if she had her first degree reprinted.
