Queer / Trans Resources
Name Information
Some members of the Wesleyan community are known by a preferred name that is different from their legal name. Students, faculty and staff who wish to be identified by a name other than their legal one, can enter that name in the Personal Information section of their e-portfolio. This name will appear in most University systems. While anyone is welcome to use a preferred name, this option has been developed to respond to the needs of some international students, transgender people, and others who prefer to use another name.
