Students are welcome to use the restroom they feel the most comfortable in. Here are locations for all gender, single occupancy restrooms on North Campus and Main/South Campus if those are an option you would prefer. Descriptions of all locations will be added; contact us at qube@uwstout.edu in the meantime if you need assistance.
The all gender restrooms on North Campus are all in residence halls.
University Housing is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment in all UW-Stout residence halls. Resident Advisors (RAs) are strongly encouraged to participate in Safe Space training so they can provide support to LGBTQIA+ students. What's more, students can check a box on the Housing form to request a roommate who is LGBTQIA+ friendly. Housing professional staff are trained and competent in LGBTQIA+ issues.
As part of University Housing's commitment to providing a safe and welcoming environment, there is a listing of buildings and inclusive facilities (such as which buildings offer all-gender restrooms, all-gender living, elevators, etc) here. All students receive a questionnaire after applying for housing where they may indicate any needs or concerns they have regarding housing assignments. Housing is committed to working with students to make sure they feel safe and validated. If you have any questions regarding housing at UW-Stout, please feel free to call or text Housing at 715-232-1121 or email housing@uwstout.edu.
New and continuing students have the opportunity to be part of the Out@Stout living and learning community! The Out@Stout community in North Hall is an inclusive environment centered on the queer community. All students applying for housing will receive a questionnaire where they can apply for a living and learning community (including Out@Stout) and where they can indicate any needs Housing staff should be aware of regarding room assignments. Learn more about Out@Stout.
Changing your legal name can appear to be a daunting process at first, but it is very rewarding once completed. We have a guide walking you through how to change your legal name while living at/attending UW-Stout (in Menomonie & Dunn County, Wisconsin). Our guide can also be used as a starting point for anywhere in the State of Wisconsin.
Stout students can change their name in campus systems without first changing their legal name. You can complete this on your own and get a new BlueCard with your new name at no charge.
Stout students have the ability to change their name in the UW-Stout email system through Outlook/Office365. UW-Stout has a guide on KnowledgeBase to update your name.
Displaying your pronouns on Canvas (UW-Stout's online platform for courses and grades) is super easy. Your pronouns will be displayed next to your name (like in the picture for step 1). They are visible to instructors next to your name in Canvas (if you have chosen any pronouns- none are selected by default).
