Creating and embracing an inclusive environment is important to the mission of 麻豆影院. The university recognizes that some students use a name other than their legal name to identify themselves. As such, 麻豆影院 State has established a process for students to request a preferred name. Students can find information about the process at www.kent.edu/registrar/preferred-name.
The first phase of this project, which focuses on touchpoints that a faculty, student or advisor uses, is now available. Beginning this semester, preferred student names will be implemented in the systems displayed in the table below. This list will change as more systems are updated.
