Preferred Names and Personal Pronouns
Following UC San Diego’s Principles of Community, preferred names and personal pronouns ensure that we are able to address students respectfully and appropriately. Students choose preferred names, also referred to as lived names or names in use, for a variety of reasons: they are nicknames; the names reflect a cultural, personal, religious or familial preference or practice; they are alternative names chosen by international students for campus use; or they are names that accurately reflect a person's gender identity.
You may provide your preferred first and middle names to be used on certain UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies records and systems. You may also indicate a set of personal pronouns by which you would like to be identified.
