An alias academic record consists of the assignment of a temporary, transitional and non-permanent identity used exclusively within specific academic documents.
Alias Career
RUFA – Rome University of Fine Arts recognises and protects every person’s right to experience academic life with confidence and peace of mind, while respecting individual dignity and privacy.
The alias academic record service supports students undergoing gender transition by providing a considerate, inclusive and informed academic environment.
How to request activation
In line with procedures adopted in many countries worldwide, RUFA does not normally require administrative or medical diagnostic documentation to activate an alias academic record.
The aim is to safeguard the fullest expression of individual freedom while respecting the person. Pending a consistent global regulatory framework, RUFA reserves the right to request such documentation where necessary.
An alias academic record may be requested by anyone who has begun a gender transition process, at any time after enrolment.
