    Support Resources for Gender Discrimination

    The University of North Georgia aims to create a more caring campus culture in which bias, harassment, and violence have no place—and every member of our community is free to flourish.

    Support initiatives and resources on campus include:

    • Preferred Names Policy

      Beginning June 2021, the University launched a Preferred First Name policy (login required) for students and employees.

      Students requesting a Preferred First Name should complete a Preferred First Name Change Request within the Personal Information Tab of their Banner Account. The request will be reviewed by the Registrar in consultation with the Director of Diversity & Inclusion. Students who are denied a Preferred First Name request may appeal to the Vice President for Student Affairs & Enrollment Management.

      Employees requesting use of a Preferred First Name should contact the Office of Human Resources

    • All Gender Restrooms

      The University of North Georgia is a gender diverse community and invites individuals to choose the restroom they find welcoming and safe.  All gender restrooms can be found on the Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, Gainesville, and Oconee campuses.

    • Safe Zone Training

      Safe Zone is a LGBTQ+ sensitivity training program for faculty and staff. The individuals who have participated in the training are committed to being an understanding and non-judgmental listener for anyone who needs to discuss their experience. Look for this sign to find those who are Safe Zone trained.
