Updating Your Lived Name and Gender

Overview

As part of the Gender Recognition & Lived Name Initiative at UC Davis, UC Davis is working actively to ensure that all students, faculty, and staff have their lived name and gender across all UC Davis technologies.

However, you may have noticed that you now have a middle name in the Office 365 Global Address List (GAL), or the name listed is not the name you prefer. You can update your listing in the GAL by updating your lived name.
