Connect with UNB
In 2020 consultation sessions were conducted regarding UNB’s Chosen Name & Gender Identity Policy. As of February 2021, the Chosen Name & Gender Identity Policy successfully made its way through the internal UNB approval process.
Since the policy approval, two multi-unit implementation and data management teams have actively worked towards the readiness of UNB systems and UNBs chosen name and gender identity form is now live, backed by the UNB Chosen Name and Gender Identity Policy.
A printable change of name and/or gender in-person request form is also available in pdf or doc file format for requests that cannot be submitted online through Colleage Self Service.
For information on the form, please view the Chosen Name FAQ
Please note that different UNB systems take different amounts of time to update – for example, sometimes a requested change will be updated overnight, other systems may be more responsive and a change is seen in a few hours. Feel free to consult the chosen name data flow chart for more information or reach out to humanrights@unb.ca if you have questions.
UNB is committed to fostering an inclusive campus culture where everyone feels supported in being their most authentic selves. Being aware of and using pronouns, in a conscious way, is a way to respect individuals and create an inclusive environment. Learning about pronouns can help us learn about each other, acknowledge our wonderous differences and similarities and help us in keeping respect and kindness at the forefront of all we do.
In an effort to help in your personal learning, members of the UNB community have developed a resource where you can get answers to commonly asked questions.
Human Rights and Equity has gathered a compilation of works and resources that is aimed at students as well as academic and non-academic staff. We especially hope that white folks, wanting to be better educated about racism here in Canada and beyond, will spend some time with these in order to be effective allies in the fight against racism.
We’ve drawn heavily on compilations shared with us, including lists compiled by Hanna Jacobsen, as well as Sarah Sophie Flicker and Alyssa Klein. Having added several suggestions of our own, will continue to gather, collate, and annotate resources to add to this expanding compendium.

Gender-neutral washrooms are those devoid of any gender-specific signage or designation. They are designed to accommodate the needs of a greater range of people, as many individuals are not comfortable using male or female-gendered washrooms. They also exist to provide privacy to any individual who requires it, no matter their reasons.
This list will be updated as gender-neutral washrooms are identified. If you are aware of a gender-neutral washroom that is not listed here, email humanrights@unb.ca indicating the building and room number.
