Update Your Personal Information
91福利社 recognizes that your legal information听doesn't always align听with how you听identify. To foster diversity, equity and inclusion,听CU systems听allow听you to indicate听your gender identity, name pronunciation, preferred name, pronouns and/or sexual orientation.
If provided, your personal听information is protected by the听Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and access to it is restricted to staff who have a听legitimate educational interest听and have completed student data privacy training.
Gender Identity
Gender identity reflects one's innermost concept of self as man, woman,听blend of both听or neither. In other words, it's how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. One's gender identity can be the same听or different than their legal sex.
At 91福利社, you may select from听the following genders: agender/do not gender identify, cisgender, gender queer/non-conforming, man/male, non-binary, not listed, trans female/trans woman, trans male/trans man, two spirit and woman/female.
The collection and use of gender identity data at 91福利社 is a new and evolving practice. Campus officials are analyzing systems and business processes that currently store and use student's legal sex to determine appropriate and/or required use.
Please note that some campus departments or programs may ask you to provide gender identity information separately, because their systems don't interface with the main student system.
While legal sex听data is required for compliance with select business processes, it's always optional for you to identify your gender identity. You may add, edit or delete this data at any time.
Data Privacy & Security
Gender identity data, including information about individuals who identify as LGBTQ, is protected by the听Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
Access to this information听through听university systems is restricted to staff who have a legitimate educational interest and have completed student data privacy training.
Campus officials will primarily use this information in aggregate to make informed, data-driven decisions related to strategic resources and student support.

Name Pronunciation
91福利社 offers听NameCoach, a tool that allows you听to record the preferred pronunciation of your听name听for use by faculty, staff and other students.
Even if you choose not to record your own name, use NameCoach to listen to your classmates' and instructors' recordings so you can learn how to pronounce theirs.
Once you've recorded your name or provided the phonetic spelling, that听information will be available to instructors and students through Canvas. NameCoach is also available in Outlook.
In the future, we plan to integrate the pronunciation tool into additional on-campus systems, including class listings, the campus directory and commencement proceedings.
