You can now update your Canvas profile to include your personal pronouns. Your selected pronouns will display in a variety of places in Canvas. You can find a complete listing of where pronouns display for students here and for instructors here.

Note: Designated pronouns in Wolverine Access' Gender Identity do not update in Canvas, nor do personal pronouns in Canvas update Wolverine Access. You must designate your options as separate actions in each system. For directions on how to update your designated pronouns in Wolverine Access, please see this guide.
