Campus resources

• All-gender restrooms on campus

  A number of our restrooms are designed as all-gender. All-gender restrooms are single-stall and wheelchair-accessible public restrooms that can be used by everyone. Individuals may use whichever facility is the most appropriate and most comfortable for them.

  At �鶹��ƵAPK, restrooms are either single use or multi-stall. Our single-stall restrooms are labeled with the sign “Restroom.” �鶹��ƵAPK provides single-stall restrooms to ensure there are convenient and accessible environments for all students, families, and visitors. These are restrooms that any individual can use regardless of gender.

  Our long-term goal is that every building on campus will have, at minimum:

  • One fully-accessible men’s restroom
  • One fully-accessible women’s restroom
  • One fully-accessible all-gender restroom

  These facilities are beneficial to all members of the �鶹��ƵAPK community and can serve the needs of parents who need to attend to their children of a different gender and individuals with disabilities who may have a personal care assistant (PCA), caregiver, parent, or guardian of a different gender.

  �鶹��ƵAPK strives to create and maintain a safe environment for all, including locker room and shower facilities. We provide all members of our community equal access to locker rooms and shower facilities.

  Frequently asked questions
   

  Are these restrooms open to everyone?

  All-gender restrooms are open to everyone. As such, all people must be respectful of these spaces. We do not prescribe which bathrooms people should use. Rather, we want to provide spaces so that all individuals can use them in an accessible manner.

  Are all restrooms on campus going to be all gender?

  We are not converting every restroom on campus. However, we are working toward ensuring that there are all-gender restroom facilities in the majority of campus buildings.

• Preferred name changes

  Unlike legal name changes which require documentation, preferred name changes do not. The process to change your preferred name at �鶹��ƵAPK is a relatively easy process that will take about 48 hours for your preferred name to update in certain Workday-related systems.

  Once your legal name has changed, we can issue a new transcript and replace a diploma at no charge when requested. Please note that changing your first name for certain records does not change your legal name with �鶹��ƵAPK altogether.

  Where your preferred name will appear on �鶹��ƵAPK documents

  • Canvas
  • �鶹��ƵAPK email
  • Class rosters
  • Dean's List and Merit List
  • Faculty advisee lists

      Diploma Name: It is recommended that you use your legal name, specifically for international students or students interested in working abroad. In other countries, the diploma is a legal document and must be issued in the student's legal name or it is not valid. For more information, please email Registration & Records at registrar@hamline.edu with questions about names for commencement/diploma.

• Gender markers, pronouns, and ID cards

  �鶹��ƵAPK recognizes that names and pronouns are important ways we engage and acknowledge each other, whether it is the first time you are meeting a person or if you are introducing someone you have known for awhile to someone else, we use them in many different ways.

  We believe that using pronouns as indicated by an individual is a key component to building a welcoming and respectful community. �鶹��ƵAPK also recognizes that many people have been taught to assume that we can look at an individual or their name and assume which pronouns they use. Unfortunately, this isn't true, and it can negatively impact the individual or the community we are building.

  �鶹��ƵAPK also understands that many people use a name other than their legal first name to identify themselves for a range of reasons. As long as the use of this changed name is not for the purpose of misrepresentation, we allow students to use a first name different from the legal name on certain records and their student ID. In our Workday system, this name is labeled as “preferred name.” If your chosen name is different from your legal name, it is recognized here.

  Below are ways to change your name and pronouns in our systems, as well as resources and information on names and pronouns.

  ID cards

  ID cards from Public Safety can be changed to list your preferred name. Go to the Public Safety Office in Sorin Hall and let them know you use a name different from your legal one and ask to have your ID updated.

  Pronouns

  While we do not keep pronouns in our main system, Workday, you can change your pronouns in Canvas for classes that use Canvas. We encourage all students, faculty, and staff to do so. You can also share your preferred pronouns and name directly with faculty, staff (in work situations). Before receiving your name badge, you will be asked to list the pronouns you would like to use. Pronouns will be listed on all name badges provided by �鶹��ƵAPK. In addition, we encourage all students, staff, and faculty to add their pronouns to their email signature.

  Gender marker changes

  At �鶹��ƵAPK, we recognize and affirm people based on the gender that they identify with. Similarly to the state of Minnesota, �鶹��ƵAPK recognizes that gender is a self-designated descriptor. Students are not required to present documentation to change their gender marker on their �鶹��ƵAPK record.

  Current students may initiate a change through Workday, while former students should use . We do encourage you to make sure that this change is reflective of your other documents, based on the country you live in, if you are an international student or a dual citizen. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us or the Global Engagement Center.

  At the same time, as part of the demographic data that we collect, we compile a data set based on the one that the state of Minnesota collects and as may be necessary under federal law.
