A preferred name is a name that a person chooses to be identified by, apart from their legal name. Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) allows students and employees to use a preferred name.
Identifiers such as name, genderandpersonal pronouns are core factors in many individuals’ sense of self. In alignment with the College’s goals and values as an inclusive institution, the newest update to the employee and student information forms include fields to indicate preferred name, personal pronouns and/orgender identity. Instructors, counselors andadministrators will see these values on class rosters, counseling schedules and other administrative pages.
People may use different personal pronouns in various contexts. This includes using no pronouns or only using one’s name. Below is a chart of some common pronouns and their pronunciations.

Gender identity describes an individual’s personal sense of their gender, not their biological sex. A person’s gender identity may or may not be the same as what they marked as gender on their application to the College.
