All students self-report their gender when applying to Hennepin Technical College. If a student wishes to change their designated gender at any time, for any reason, the student can complete the Student Information Change Form and submit it to the Enrollment Services desk at either campus. No explanation or proof of legal gender marker is needed. Students must show a photo ID to verify their identity. At this time, we are only able to support binary genders: male or female. This is a limitation through the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System Office and the current record-keeping software. We value student feedback and are working to widen the gender options.

The Access Services Offices assists students, faculty, and staff to provide access to our programs, services, and activities.
