Resources

LGBTQ+ Student Services is here to refer you to the resources you need to thrive at UVU. We have programs and resources available on campus specific to LGBTQIA+ needs, as well as more general campus and community resources ready to support you.

Personal Information Change

You can update your official personal records at UVU in a few different ways. If you have changed your legal name or legal sex, you can submit a Change of Personal Information form with the Registrar’s Office. You will need to provide copies of your Social Security card and/or a government-issued photo ID or court order. Learn more on the Registrar’s Office website.

If you have not legally changed your name or sex, you can still update your name, gender, and pronouns on myUVU and Canvas. While these are not considered changes to your official records, updating your records on these services allows your instructors and classmates to see your preferred name and your pronouns on a day-to-day basis.

myUVU Instructions

Log into myUVU and click on the top bar that displays your legal name and photo. Select the gear graphic, and then click the “Personal Contact Information” link. Select “Edit” under Personal Details. You will be able to update your preferred first name, personal pronouns, and gender identification.

Canvas Instructions

Access your Canvas settings by logging into Canvas, selecting your profile picture, and clicking “Settings.” Next, click “Edit Settings” on the right side of the page. You will be able to update your full name used for grading, your display name used in discussions and messages, and your pronouns.

LGBTQ+ Group Therapy

Student Health Services hosts a weekly therapy group dedicated to serving LGBTQ+ students. The group is a safe space to discuss queer topics and issues and to find community with other LGBTQ+ people. Learn more on the Student Health Services website.

LGBTQ+ Housing Resources

Know your rights as a queer person looking for housing. It is prohibited under the Fair Housing Act for any landlord or housing provider to discriminate against LGBTQ+ persons on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Find more tips for finding housing here.

LGBTQ+ Opportunity Annual Scholarship

The LGBTQ+ Opportunity Annual Scholarship is for students who demonstrate leadership within the LGBTQIA+ community, have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA, and are enrolled in at least 12 credits. Find all scholarship requirements and deadlines on ScholarshipUniverse.
