Preferred/Chosen First Name and Pronouns
LCCC recognizes that students in our community may use names other than their legal first names to identify themselves.
By sharing a preferred/chosen first name, the individual is agreeing to be referred to by this name in college-related systems (i.e. Banner, Canvas, and Degree Works) and documents as well as email communications, interactions and any processes in which names are used to address an individual, except when the use of the legal name is required by law or the college.
Students can change their preferred name in Self-Service BannerWeb. Detailed instructions are available on the IT Knowledgebase. Changes will be reflected across LCCC systems within 48 hours.
Note: A preferred/chosen first name is not a legal name change. Students who are legally changing their name should follow the instructions here.
