    The Pride Alliance Club is a student-run group that provides a community for students who identify as LGBTQIA2S+, along with their friends. The Pride Alliance meetings and events offer a safe, friendly, and inclusive space for LMC students to share information, connect to resources, plan and participate in activities, and most of all - have fun!

    Los Medanos College LGBTQ Out List

    outlist

    The Los Medanos College Out List has been created to help build awareness of the diversity and strength that make up the LMC community of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and other queer and gender fluid individuals. We are part of your everyday lives and we are proud to be part your community of support here at LMC. Additionally, knowing queer people helps one move beyond stereotypes and discrimination. You can’t always know someone else's sexual orientation or gender identity just by looking at them. This invisibility is one of the reasons that discrimination against LGBTQ people exists.

    The following out LGBTQ faculty, staff, and managers are committed to being a visible presence of the queer community at Los Medanos College. With this Out List, we stand as proud representatives of a welcoming, open, diverse and public community, and offer our leadership on campus

  • Name change forms and process

    Change your name on LMC Documents

    We recognize that students want to use names other than their legal name to identify themselves. A preferred first name is in lieu of your legal name, and will be used in the following areas:

    • Class Rosters
    • Canvas
    • Student ID Card
    • Emails from the college

    Your username and email address will not change. A list of places where your legal name will be used may be found on the Chosen Name Request Form. Click here to access the Chosen Name Request Form, which can also be accessed on the LMC Student Forms tile on InSite.

    Questions about the Chosen Name Request Form? Please contact  Admissions & Records at admissions@losmedanos.edu

    Update your pronouns and gender identity through InSite by clicking the Settings Icon --> “View/Change Address and Personal Identity” -->“Edit Personal Identity."

    To update your display name on Canvas, click Account --> Settings --> Edit Settings (on the right side) --> make edits & Update Settings. Here's a step by step video
