Overview
As part of the Gender Recognition and Lived Name Policy implementation, starting on July 15, 2024, faculty, staff, and student employees can enter their pronouns in UCPath. These pronouns will be displayed on several pages in UCPath and accessible to employees, managers, campus inquiry users and transactors, administrators, and UCPath Center Staff, and will be visible in downstream systems such as the Campus Directory.
UCPath will be the primary source of pronoun information for faculty and staff. For student employees, if there is a conflicting pronoun entry in Campus Solutions, the value in Campus Solutions will take precedence in downstream systems like the Campus Directory.
Available Pronouns in UCPath:
- All pronouns
- Ask Me
- He/Him/His
- He/She
- He/They
- My name only
- She/He
- She/Her/Hers
- She/They
- They/He
- They/Them/Theirs
- They/She
- Ze/Zir/Zirs
- Ze/Hir/Hirs
- My pronouns are not listed
- Decline to State
When an employee logs in to UCPath, if they have not already entered their pronouns, they will be prompted to do so. Anyone with access to an employee's pronouns is expected to respect and use them appropriately.
