New option to choose preferred gender identity in UAOnline
by Michelle Saport |
Students, faculty and staff can now choose their preferred gender identity from the Personal Information tab in . We believe that adding the opportunity for students, faculty and staff to self-identify their gender helps Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, UAF and UAS better understand and serve their university population. The gender identity options available in UAOnline were suggested by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars & Admissions Officers in a July 2019 report titled "Student Identity."
Updating preferred gender will not result in a change to legal sex in the university system (male or female). Those seeking to update their legal sex can submit a Change of Personal Information Form (available here) or contact the Registrar's Office at uaa.registration@alaska.edu or 907-786-1480 (option 5).
