Preferred Name and Gender Information

The Personal Pronoun and Preferred First Name Policy allows faculty, staff and students to change an individual’s first names and pronouns in most university information systems without pursuing a legal name change.

Reasons for name changes may include transgender or gender nonconforming identities, members of our international community who wish to adopt an English language name, individuals known by names that are different from their legal names, etc.

Information on how to request a change, as well as information about what this change might mean regarding use of alternative names/pronouns, can be found in the documents below:
