Chosen First Name

Posted on September 8, 2022

Greenfield Community College recognizes that some students may prefer to use a first name other than their legal name to identify themselves. As long as the use of a chosen first name is appropriate and not for an improper purpose, GCC acknowledges that a chosen first name can and should be used where possible in the course of college business and education. The full policy is available at gcc.mass.edu/registrar/preferred-name-policy. Students may update their record with a chosen first name either via their MyGCC in the My Account area or by filling out a form available on the policy page.
