FAQ - Inclusivity | LaSalle College Montréal

Can I use a chosen first name in my interactions at the College?

Yes! To simplify our students’ interactions in their daily college activities, any LaSalle College student can request a chosen name.

This name will be prioritized in all College communications and interactions as well as in unofficial documents, while the legal first name will be used in official documents and government procedures.

For more information on this topic and to open a chosen first name application, our students must refer to the LaSalle College Student Guide.

Can I apply for a change of gender designation?

Yes, if the gender designation requested is the same as the gender designation indicated in the student’s official documents, such as a birth certificate or vital statistics document.

As is the case in any government document, the student can choose from the following three genders: “Male,” “Female” and “Non-binary.”
