AccessECC FAQ

Where do I update my preferred name, personal pronouns, and gender identity?

If you want to update your personal pronouns or gender identity, you can do so through the accessECC Portal. Once in Self-service, click on your accessECC ID in the upper right-hand corner and select User Profile from the dropdown menu. Your legal name on record is below your photo, and to the right of your photo, you will see your Chosen (Preferred) Name, Personal Pronouns, and Gender Identity that ECC has on record for you. When the chosen (preferred) name is mentioned, it only references the first and middle names. Students may send additional questions to registration@elgin.edu.

• To update your personal pronouns and gender identity, click the Edit Personal Identity Button, select, and press Save. The information is saved immediately; you will see it now to the right of your photo.
• To update your chosen (preferred) name, contact the Registration Office to complete the process. Once your updated chosen (preferred) name is recorded, you can see the name to the right of your photo.
