Resources for Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender Expansive Students

The University of Maine System’s Name Usage Policy has been updated and improved (May 2023). The University recognizes that many members of its community use names other than their legal names. For some students and employees, a chosen or preferred name may be an important component of their identity. Therefore, the University has established this policy which allows students and employees to indicate their preferred/chosen names to the University community even if they have not changed their legal names. For more information and instructions on updating your name, email address, USM ID card, and other essential items, please refer to the Policy.
