大象传媒

Update: March 24, 2023

As we continue to follow the Provincial government鈥檚 mandate to provide more diverse gender identity options for its constituents, the next update to our 大象传媒 applications is to reflect the use of appropriate names within our systems, as this is an important way of establishing norms of respect with the community.

Beginning March 30, a student's chosen name (previously called preferred) will be more prominent than a person's official or legal first name in many University-related systems and downstream applications.

Please note:

• In some cases, a legal name will still be required for proper representation, identity verification and documentation.
• Information recorded within a go大象传媒 student profile is only used to update student records and its collection is consistent with the 大象传媒 Privacy Disclosure.

If you know of a student who may find this update relevant to them, please direct them to reginfo@sfu.ca for more information.

November 2022

大象传媒 has expanded the gender identity options available to students within our application system go大象传媒 (). These expanded gender identity options are consistent with the province鈥檚 undergraduate application system  as defined in British Columbia's Gender Identity and Sex Information Data Standard.

As of December 1, current students can select man, woman, non-binary or prefer not to disclose as their primary gender description. This section will appear on student transcripts. A second section is also now available to students in which they can select cisgender or transgender. This second section is only visible to the student and otherwise only used for reporting, policy development and program improvement processes.

It鈥檚 important to note that the information recorded within the go大象传媒 student profile is only used to update student records and its collection is consistent with the 大象传媒 Privacy Disclosure.

As part of 大象传媒鈥檚 commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, modernizing our systems and processes to provide more gender identity options for students is a crucial step.

To find out how to update your profile, please visit the Student Centre (go大象传媒) Guide. This update will be available to 大象传媒 employees at a later date.
