-When you were admitted to Evergreen, you started with a recorded legal name and gender marker. In many cases this name and gender is absolutely important and cannot be substituted or changed except through a legal name and/or legal gender change. Some examples are official college transcripts, federal and state financial aid, payroll and tax information and the like. In systems such as these, we are required to use the legal name and gender. Using a chosen name or gender marker is not optional and is out of our control. In systems internal to Evergreen though, identifiers of people are not so absolute. It is an important Evergreen value to provide students the ability to choose how they represent themselves digitally, which may extend beyond this narrow interpretation of identity when possible. Some ways already exist for students (with help at times from their faculty) to control how their chosen name appears in some of our more frequently used systems.

 To reiterate, this is an imperfect system.  We are working to actively improve this important service for students to be easier, cleaner and more predictable. As with many similar technical ecosystems where newer applications are built on top of many previous older applications, it will take time and resources to sort it all out.
