Non-Legal/Preferred Options
If you are a transgender and/or gender non-conforming student at Northeastern and wish to have your name or gender marker changed without having legally done so, you can do so through the LGBTQA Resource Center. We can help guide you through the process, how it works and what it impacts. The name you submit will be put on all future class rosters, blackboard, email alias*, and husky ID card. Please take note that you should directly contact the LGBTQA Resource Center to begin this process. If you go directly to the Registrar’s office, you will be directed back to the LGBTQA Resource Center.
To start the process of changing your name and/or gender marker, complete this form and email it to lgbtqa@northeastern.edu from your Husky Email address to verify your identity.
For questions or to discuss the process, students may contact:

*You will have the option to choose between altering your email address and your alias, the name that appears attached to the email address. Many students opt to just change the alias as it does not require a deletion of the old account and creation of a new one.
