Chosen Name, Personal Pronouns, and/or Gender Identity Change

The Registration & Records office supports LGBTQ+ students, and is committed to a gender inclusive community. Students have the option to select a Chosen First Name, update personal pronouns, and select gender identity in NazNet Self-Service (click on person/user name icon in upper right hand toolbar, then User Profile, then Edit Personal Identity). What happens next? Want to change your display name in Gmail? Follow these guidelines!

Chosen Name and Gender Identity Guidelines (pdf)

Text version of pdf:

To submit changes: Click "user profile" in NazNet. When you're done, here's what will happen next.

If you added personal pronouns to your record, they will show in:

  • Your user profile in NazNet Self-Service Student Planning when your advisor(s) logs into your record 
  • Class rosters in NazNet Self-Service (Faculty see your name and pronouns on their class lists.) 
  • Nazareth online Directory

If you selected a chosen first name (CFN) that is different from your legal first name:

  • Within 2 business days, Campus Safety will reprint your ID card showing your CFN. Stop by Campus Safety and pick up your new card!
  • CFN will show on class rosters, NazNet Self-Service & Student Planning, Moodle, Starfish, Handshake, NazAlert and the Naz online Directory.
  • The College must use legal first name on financial and student accounts records, as well as academic transcripts.
  • To protect student privacy, mailings home also use legal first name.
