Currently, there is no official form to fill out to change your gender marker. However, you must provide a legally recognized piece of identification that states your new gender. Acceptable forms of identification include:
- Drivers License
- Passport
- Revised Birth Certificate
Only one of these documents is necessary. Once provided with the documentation, your PPL or HR liaison will change your gender marker in the HCM system. *Please Note: Your PPL or the HR liaison must contact the Benefits Office (303-860-4200, option 3) to notify them of the gender marker change. The Benefits office will then work with your insurance provider to ensure that your gender marker is changed appropriately in their records..

The CU Boulder People Search Directory will automatically update your new name a few days after your department HR liaison changes your name in the Human Resources PeopleSoft HCM. For the A to Z Directory, your PPL will need to manually update that information with your new name. If you have not legally changed your name, but would prefer another name to be reflected in the campus directory, you can contact the Office of Information Technology (OIT) at 303-735-HELP. They will assist you in creating a “nickname” in place of your first name for the campus directory only.
