Health

Georgia Tech’s Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) pharmacy benefits cover hormone treatments. It does not, on the other hand, cover gender alignment surgery. If you’re on a different insurance plan, talk to your provider. Note that doctors at Stamps Health Services do not prescribe hormones; however, they will provide referrals to off-campus practitioners if required.

Name Change

Georgia Tech recognizes that “as long as the use of a chosen/preferred name is not for the purpose of misrepresentation” they will acknowledge that a chosen/preferred name should be used whenever possible in the course of conducting daily business and in the educational process. Georgia Tech will permit any student who wishes to do so to identify themselves within the student information system with a chosen/preferred first name in addition to their legal name. It is further understood that the student’s chosen/preferred name should be used in Georgia Tech communications and reporting, except where the use of the legal name is necessitated by business practices or legal requirements. Here is the Registrar website for more information and the name change form.

Equal Opportunity Employment Statement

Georgia Tech’s EEO statement includes protection for gender identity. You can find more information on Georgia Tech policy and filing a complaint here.
