Additional Campus Resources


Transgender at Allegheny

Chosen Name:

The Chosen Name Policy at Allegheny College supports students seeking to change their names without pursuing a legal name change. Students who list a preferred or familiar name on their admissions application automatically have their preferred names entered into the college system.

We also believe that empowering students with the option to change their name contributes to a safe and non-discriminatory college experience. Reasons for name changes may include transgender or gender non-conforming identities, international students or other students who wish to adopt an English language name, students known by names that are different from their legal names, or students who have popular names who wish to use a different name. Please note that some records may require the use of legal names only, such as federal and medical documentation.

All-Gender Restrooms:

Allegheny College is committed to having safe and accessible campus restroom facilities. We recommend that individuals make choices about restroom usage based on their own level of comfort and/or their gender identity or expression.
Currently, there are single stall restrooms in most campus buildings. All of our single stall restrooms are “all gender” restrooms, providing space for anyone, regardless of gender identity, to use that restroom. We also have all gender multi-user restrooms, meaning that multiple people can be in that restroom, regardless of gender identity.
Our campus map has a layer to view the all gender restrooms. Look under “Campus Life” on the map here: https://map.allegheny.edu/


Maytum Center for Student Success

The Maytum Center for Student Success draws together a variety of academic support services to create a “one-stop shop” for students in Allegheny’s Pelletier Library. Peer consultants assist students with writing, public speaking, and study in a variety of academic subjects.

Our professional staff arranges accommodations for students with disabilities; consult with students on study skills such as time management, effective reading, and test taking; coordinate new student registration; and support the academic advising program.

The Maytum Center for Student Success is located on the main floor of the Academic Commons, which also includes the Pelletier Library. This space provides great opportunities for student tutoring, consultations, and group or personal study.
