Equal Opportunity College/Ensuring Non-Discrimination Policy
CVTC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age in employment, admissions, its programs, or activities. General inquiries regarding the College’s non-discrimination policies may be directed to:
Director of Human Resources, Chippewa Valley Technical College, 620 W. Clairemont Avenue, Eau Claire, WI 54701, 715-833-6334, WI Relay: 711.
Student Identity
The College seeks to provide an inclusive and non-discriminatory environment by making it possible for individuals to use a preferred first name on college records when a legal name is not required. A preferred first name is a name by which a person has chosen to identify themselves that is different, in whole or in part, from their legal first name.
Individuals shall generally be permitted to designate any preferred first name. However, the College reserves the right to deny a preferred first name for reasons including, but not limited to, those that: avoid legal obligations, misrepresent, or violate other school policies.
The College shall use preferred first name for CVTC e-mail account name, online directory, class rosters, diploma, and other functions where technology allows, and it is legally possible.
There are some records that legally require the use of legal names. The College is not permitted to use a preferred first name on these records. Examples include, but are not limited to, enrollment verification, college transcript, financial aid documents, visa documents, W-2 forms, and third-party reports.
If not included on an admissions application, individuals may update their preferred first name via SIS (Student Information System) under Personal Information. The Records & Registration Office will process these requests. If there are any questions/concerns with the request, the individual will be contacted by Records & Registration staff within 2 business days.
