Using a Chosen Name

Students now have the option to update their gender identity and chosen name. This information may be used on unofficial records and documents maintained by the District. Official documents will require a legal name and gender change. Please refer to Student Information Change Form for complete submission details, form, and places where this information is to appear.

  • Important Facts to Know
    • Using a person’s preferred/chosen name and pronouns is essential to inclusion and is expected of all NOCE employees as well as across the District. There are many reasons why students might want to use a preferred/chosen name. Some students have used a different name than the one assigned at birth for many years, and find the use of their legal name uncomfortable and out of place. Others may have adopted a new name more recently. Some examples include the following:
      • A student may want to use a name that reflects their gender identity.
      • Some students may find that faculty, staff, and other students have trouble pronouncing their birth names and may want to adopt a name that is easier for others to use.
      • Some students have gone by their middle names instead of their first names.
      • A student may find a nickname to suit them better – for example, “Jack” instead of “Jacob,” or “Rae” instead of “Rachel.”

    • Be aware that a student may have a first name that is chosen. For verification purposes, the last name will remain the same.
    • Chosen names selected are subject to revocation if deemed inappropriate by the Administration of NOCE.
    • If you are aware that a student uses a preferred/chosen name, you are required to address the student by that name. It is a professional expectation that NOCE employees will address students in a manner that is welcoming to them. Using a student’s preferred/chosen name embraces respect and inclusion.
    • Obtaining a legal name change can take time, and can also be expensive. There also may be legal or personal reasons why someone cannot change their name legally, or why they do not wish to do so. For international students, obtaining a legal name change may not be possible or even preferable. It is important to understand that many transgender students may be “out” at school, but may not feel that they can disclose to their families that they are transgender. Finally, a student who goes by a middle name or nickname may have personal reasons, such as family tradition, for wanting to keep their name legally while being known by their middle name or nickname.
    • A student’s ID number will appear on their accounts and can be used to verify identity.
    • If you have any questions or concerns about a preferred/chosen name please contact: Triseinge Ortiz, NOCE Registrar, tortiz@noce.edu.
