Nebraska Summer Passport Program

UNMC faculty, staff and students can now begin to self-select the way they want to be addressed while on campus.
Following more than a year of discussion, review and implementation, the University of Nebraska system has launched a Chosen Name and Gender Identity Policy. Also known as Executive Memorandum No. 40, the policy allows students, faculty and staff at all NU campuses — including UNMC — to select their chosen name, gender identity and pronouns.
The option is available now to students via MyRecords and to faculty and staff in Firefly. Information Technology teams continue work to align chosen names within UNMC and Nebraska Medicine specific systems (ie: Canvas, Zoom, Office 365, directories, Outlook), which will occur at a later date.

All UNMC Students, Faculty, and Staff must take action to prevent access restrictions to commonly used applications such as Firefly (SAP), NESIS (My Records, PeopleSoft), eShop, EMS Room Scheduling, Concur, Sunapsis and Bridge.
