New Presidential Policy on Gender Recognition and Lived Name

A new Presidential Policy which ensures that all University-issued identification documents display personal identification information that recognizes an individual's accurate gender identity and lived name.

In brief, the policy stipulates that the University must provide the minimum three equally recognized gender options in university information systems — woman, man, and nonbinary — and an efficient process for current students, employees, and UC alumni and affiliates to retroactively amend their gender designations and lived names in information systems, on university-issued documents, including eligible academic documents.

This policy is effective as of November 6, 2020, with full implementation of the policy and procedures to be completed no later than December 31, 2023. This policy has undergone the full systemwide review process and will be posted online at http://policy.ucop.edu/.
