ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½¿ª½±

At the Office for Institutional Equity, we work hard to support members of the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½¿ª½± community who identify as nonbinary gender, transgender, gay, lesbian, other, and without regard to any person's gender identity or expression.

OIE manages the University's preferred name process. Students seeking to use a preferred name should access Campusnet ( under Personal Data tab), to make changes. OIE will then work with partners on campus to update records with the preferred name. Those partner areas include:  

• The Counseling Center 
• Blackboard
• The Cashier Window in Main Classroom
• Residence Life

 Students may then visit the Viking Card Office to obtain a Viking Card that reflects the preferred name. 

OIE also ensures that members of our ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½¿ª½± community are able to use any restroom that corresponds with that person's gender identity. OIE provides training and problem solving when concerns arise regarding bathroom access.

Students, faculty , staff and visitors may also contact OIE to report concerns or make complaints about discrimination, harassment and sexual violence based on gender identity or expression, gender and sexual orientation, and other bases.
