The Chosen Name Project
Butte College supports LGBTQIA2S+ student identity by offering the ability to change your first name.
Did you know you can have your Chosen name changed on most Butte College servers such as class rosters? You can! Please come in to the QRC to discuss this further or go to Admissions and Records to get started! Remember - this only works with SOME of Butte's systems, Admissions and Records can provide more details.
You can also add your pronouns to your Canvas Account!
Legal Name & Gender-marker Changes
The Chosen Name Project form includes sections to update your name and gender-marker in school systems to reflect legal changes.
You can contact the Stonewall Alliance Center who can support you through the legal process.
