AD84 Chosen Identity Policy
The recently updated AD84 Chosen Identity Policy allows all Penn State students, faculty, and staff to update their demographic information, including designating a chosen name in Penn State systems themselves.
If you have students, faculty, or staff looking to designate a chosen name or other demographic information including pronouns, sexual orientation, gender identity, or prefixes they can learn more about that process here.
Penn State's new Chosen Identity Policy AD 84 promotes and supports an open and inclusive environment through the establishment of a chosen name, gender identity, name prefixes, pronouns, and sexual orientation for use within University systems, where feasible. Not all University information systems, databases, and processes may be able to store or display these identifiers, and there may be situations that require use of the Legal Name or Legal Sex.
Therefore, individuals who utilize a Chosen Name or Chosen Gender within University systems should always be prepared to reference their Legal Name and Legal Sex, as well and to provide corresponding identification when necessary.
To make a change to the chosen name, gender identity, name prefixes, pronouns, and sexual orientation go to www.accounts.psu
For information about making a legal name change head to the Student Legal Services website.
