Chosen Name, Preferred Pronoun, and Gender Identity
Entering a Chosen Name is for students, faculty, and staff who have chosen a name that they intend to use in all interactions and correspondence (including mail to their campus box and home) rather than their legal name. This is different from your nickname. The chosen name will appear on class rosters, in advising records, and in other areas that are viewable to College faculty, staff and students. Please do not use special characters such as ^,~, `, or /’s.
To change your Chosen Name, Preferred Pronoun, and/or Gender Identity: Self Service, User Options, User Profile, Edit Personal Identity.
Email Address
Your legal name was used to create your College-issued email address, so submitting a chosen name will not change the college-issued email address. To have your email address changed, please submit the email request form. Your email address name will be changed at the completion of the current semester. If your name fails to update somewhere please contact helpdesk@collegeofidaho.edu for assistance.
