Overview
As part of the Gender Recognition and Lived Name Policy, employees who use a lived name (defined by policy as a self-chosen, personal and/or preferred professional name used instead of a legal name) in UCPath will see their lived name displayed in “Name” fields throughout the system and that name will display to the employee, managers, campus transactors, administrators, and UCPath Center Staff.
UCPath will allow you to include a lived name for the following:
- First Name
- Middle Name
- Last Name
If an employee has not indicated a lived name in UCPath, their legal name (first, middle, and last) will automatically populate the new Name fields in UCPath. Legal names will only be visible to authorized users and on pages where the use of the legal name is required. Anyone with access to a legal name is expected to keep the legal name confidential.
As part of this update, UCPath becomes the source system by which employees (faculty, staff, and student employees), affiliates, or volunteers can change their legal name and lived name. Names in UCPath will be visible and displayed to downstream systems on campus like Cal 1 Card, Campus Directory, bConnected, Google, and Box accounts.
