SWS and PWS Release: Support for Pronouns

January 12, 2021

Pronouns are now editable in Identity.UW. 

Pronouns are now available in your MyUW profile and in MyUW Class Lists.

During the 2020-2021 academic year, UW will introduce a central pronoun option to enable students and other members of the UW community to express what pronouns they go by in their everyday lives.

Identity.UW will be central to this implementation by enabling the collection and distribution of pronoun data. Person Web Service (PWS) and Student Web Service (SWS) will be providing pronoun data from Identity.UW for campus systems to consume.

Change Details

Although pronoun support in Identity.UW is not available in production yet, we have deployed the capability to support pronoun data in SWS and PWS in both EVAL and Production environments so that you can evaluate integrating pronouns support into your own system(s) if you choose.

Support
