In order to facilitate the comfort and inclusion of all students, faculty, and staff of the university, 澳门五分彩 includes sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity in its non-discrimination policy. No one attending or working for 澳门五分彩 should, under any circumstances, be discriminated against or harassed for being part of the LBGT community.
澳门五分彩 recognizes that some students use first names other than their legal names to identify themselves. As an inclusive and diverse community, WMU allows students to use a preferred first name different than their legal name for certain purposes and records in the course of university business, communication, and education.
As of the 2016 Summer I semester, WMU has expanded the implementation of the student preferred name policy. This second phase of the preferred name policy implementation includes two primary changes: preferred name will now appear as the only first name on class rosters if one is indicated; and, preferred name will display in Elearning.
For more information on how to indicate a preferred name and where it will appear visit the registrar's website. Note: you can change your email after changing your preferred name. Please include a note in your request to OIT that you have changed your preferred name.
If your preferred name is not being displayed correctly or you have any questions about the preferred name policy, please contact the Registrar or Director of LBGT Student Services.
