Alias Career

In order to make Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore an increasingly inclusive community and in compliance with the indications of the Gender Equality Plan, provisions have been issued for the activation and management of alias careers.

The rules, approved by the Academic Senate and issued by Rector's Decree, allow students who have embarked on a gender transition process to use a "name of choice" at every stage of their university career: from the conduct of exams to the discussion of the degree thesis and proclamation.

In this way, those who request it will be able to use the alias registry within the University even before the pronouncement by the competent judicial authority on the new gender attribution, as provided for by Law No. 164 of 14 April 1982.

The provisions are effective from the signing of the deed of commitment that the applicants sign with Università Cattolica until the interruption of their academic career.

During this same period, the provisions may cease if the person chooses to interrupt the path undertaken.

Having in any case temporary value, the same provisions are valid until the judgment of rectification of the kind by the Court.

The guidelines published here define the aims and object of the rules, the persons who are addressed, their prerequisites and effects, as well as their effectiveness towards third parties (for example in the case of internships, study courses abroad, requests for scholarships).

The guidelines also establish the obligations on the part of the student and the consequences of violations of these commitments.
