UBC Change of Personal Information Guide
At UBC, students are primarily known to staff and professors by their preferred or chosen name. Students should indicate a preferred name only if they want staff and faculty to refer to them by a name that is different from their legal name. If your formal legal name is on UBC’s official records (e.g. transcripts, diplomas, or student card) and you wish to be known by a different or preferred name, here you can learn how to make this request.
UBC Statement on Respectful Environments
In late September 2008, President Toope introduced the UBC Respectful Environment Statement for students, faculty, and staff. The Statement speaks to our freedoms and our responsibilities and provides the guiding principles to support us in building an environment in which respect, civility, diversity, opportunity, and inclusion are valued. The statement was revised in May, 2014.
