The University supports students in this choice. Any student may designate a preferred first name regardless of whether they have legally changed their name.</span></p> <p>How to Add, Change, or Delete a Preferred First Name</p> <p>To indicate your preferred first name, login to the <a href="https://yub.yale.edu/" target="_blank">Yale Hub</a>, click on the “Personal Data” menu, and select “My Preferred Name.” Your full name and your preferred first name, if you already have a preferred first name on record, will be displayed. You may edit an existing preferred first name, enter a new preferred first name, or delete the existing preferred first name.</p> <p>For some applications, changes to the preferred first name will display immediately.

Located under the Personal Data tab in Yale Hub, participation in NameCoach is entirely voluntary and only needs to be done once. After a recording is created, an audible icon will become visible next to a student name in the online directory and in any system, that adopts NameCoach, such as faculty rosters in Canvas. </p> <p>Additionally, NameCoach gives students the option to add a phonetic spelling of their name and to display the pronouns they prefer to use.</p> <p>————————————</p> <p><strong>Note for Professional Students</strong></p> <p>The Registrar’s Office of each professional school maintains records for that school’s students and policies and procedures may differ slightly from those described above. <a href="http://registrar.yale.edu/students/professional-school-students">Contact your school’s Registrar</a> or the Yale LGBTQ Center with any questions or concerns.</p> <p>————————————</p> <p><strong>Faculty, Staff, and Post Docs</strong></p> <p><span>Updates to both legal and preferred name can be completed through </span><a href="http://workday.yale.edu/" target="_blank">Workday</a><span>.
