Chosen First Name and Gender Identity

Clarke University recognizes that as a community many of its members use names other than their legal names to identify themselves. As long as the use of this different name is not for the purposes of misrepresentation, the college will make every effort to use a student’s Chosen First Name (CFN).

Please note that some records may require the use of legal names only, such as federal and medical documentation. Students who are utilizing the CFN should always be prepared to reference their legal name as well as appropriately requested.

For additional information, please refer to the Clarke University Chosen First Name policy.
