Referring to students and employees by a chosen name in classrooms, the workplace, and when interacting with college personnel, supports a welcoming and respectful learning and working environment. The reasons for selecting a chosen name are personal and different for each person.

Students and employees at FSC may identify themselves using a chosen first name that differs from their legal name. A student or employee's chosen name will appear in select College-related systems and documents instead of the person's legal name, as noted below:

• FSC ID Cards - (both legal and preferred first name will be visible)
• Email address and display
• Brightspace
• Class rosters and grade rosters
• Advising screens - (degree audit and other advising systems)
• Directory listings - (telephone, online, hard copy)
• Email list listserv interface
• Campus registration and password expiration reset

FSC encourages students and employees to use a chosen name other than their legal name to identify themselves if they wish. For more information on how to do so, visit the Registrar's webpage.

Your Farmingdale account is needed to log into Brightspace.  If you are unable to access your account, you can access the IT Department's page.
