Want to know Lehman College's policy on preferred names and pronouns? Please see below. 

Preferred Names: According to Lehman College, a preferred name is not a legal name, but is generally used to change how others refer to you. For this purpose, students may identify a preferred name to be recorded in the student system. Documents and records that may display a preferred name include, among other things, course rosters, student identification cards, student email addresses, and other documents issued by the University. To change the name that is displayed/reflected on an official academic record, diploma, or transcript, students must follow the instructions on the Personal Data Change Request Form available in the Office of the Registrar. Official and legal name changes require specific documentation outlined on that form.

Please see the following links on updating your preferred name and other personal information on CUNYFirst:

After a change to your preferred name is entered into CUNYFirst, your preferred name should be reflected in Blackboard. If this does not occur, please contact stephen.castellano@lehman.cuny.edu to make the change in Blackboard.
