Abstract	The University of Minnesota is a large public research university with five campuses that provide undergraduate, graduate, and professional education to 67,000 students. Given the university's diverse community, a dedicated campus climate effort helps ensure that the campus is welcoming of all persons. Because the student information system (SIS) is the foundation of student records and affects how staff interact with students, making it inclusive of multiple gender identities was necessary to support the campus climate and mission. A PeopleSoft institution, the university has provided the opportunity for students to provide a "preferred name" since 2014. (Note that the field name in PeopleSoft is "preferred name." Because this terminology can be dismissive, the university is drafting a policy using "specified name" instead.) A project was underway in 2017 to expand the use of preferred name when PeopleSoft released a new function to add fields for gender identity, pronouns, and other items. Given limited existing options in the system for tracking biological sex (i.e., male, female, unknown), the scope of the project was expanded to add gender identity and pronouns. This article examines how the University created and supported its trans and non-binary students. (ERIC).
