How do I set my pronouns?

Who can see my pronouns?
Your pronouns will only appear if you choose to set and display them. By default, no pronouns will be set for your OntarioTechU.Net account. If you set pronouns, other users won’t be able to see them until you adjust your settings. Review and adjust who can see your pronouns.
Please note: Updating your pronouns for your OntarioTechU.Net account will not be reflected in any other university systems, such as Microsoft 365 or Canvas.
