You can also change your gender marker in our data system. The options are currently female/male/non-binary (“divers”)/without specification in line with the gender markers used in German Law on Civil Status.

Please send a request for change of name in the self-service-portal and indicate in the free text field, and note in the free text field which gender entry applies to you.

Please note: we strive to use gender-neutral pronouns and inclusive language in our documents so that your gender marker, as registered in the data system, should play little to no role during your studies at Freie Universität. However, for monitoring purposes it is helpful for us to have the most accurate information possible on the gender identities of our students in our data system (including when this differs from your legal gender status) so we welcome you updating your records.

You can find further information for trans, intersex, and non-binary students and on gender identity on our diversity web portal.
