New optional process for designating extended ethnicity in Wolverine Access

dropdown list of ethnic groups

Students, faculty, and staff can now designate their extended ethnicity in Wolverine Access using the new “Extended Ethnicity” tab within the Campus Personal Information section.

This information will not be published or displayed publicly, but may be used for statistical reporting, approved research, and for Student Life; Human Resource; or Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programming.

Some current students have already shared their extended ethnicity data during the admission application process. This data may already be in Wolverine Access. For some, the self-service Extended Ethnicity tab may allow greater flexibility in their identification.
