We partner with each patient to create individualized treatment plans specific to their goals and priorities. For those seeking hormonal treatment for gender affirmation, we offer initiation, ongoing management, and supportive services. We collaborate closely with our colleagues at Furman Counseling Center and trans-serving community groups to foster community building and provide ongoing support. For those interested in surgical care, we collaborate with trusted community partners to ensure linkage to further specialized care.

Barnard College's student health insurance through Aetna Student Health provides hormonal and surgical healthcare coverage according to their outlined benefits. Log-in with your Barnard information here to view the details of your plan each year.  For those with another form of insurance, we will work closely with you to review the best options available so that cost is not a limiting factor to treatment. 

Trans Health Services Include:

  • Primary and Preventive Care
  • Chest/Breast Health
  • Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT, also referred to as HRT)
  • Pelvic Wellness Exams; PAP Tests
  • Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Screenings & Treatment
  • HIV/AIDS Testing
  • Guidance on safe binding and tucking
  • Referrals to gender-affirming surgeons and vocal therapists

All treatment plans are in accordance with the World Professional Association of Transgender Care (WPATH) Standards of Care. 

Furman Counseling Center

Furman Counseling Center provides many services, including free short-term confidential counseling, referrals to transgender-identified or transgender-affirming providers on your insurance panel for long-term treatment, and therapy letters when needed for gender-affirming medical treatments or surgeries. When reaching out, you may request to speak with a clinician within the queer and/or trans community if desired.

These healthcare options are available to the public and have free or low-cost programs.

Center for Engaged Pedagogy Classroom Guide to Gender Inclusivity

  • Members of the faculty who would like a one-on-one consultation on this topic are also encouraged to make an appointment with Alex Pittman, associate director of the Center. 

NameCoach

  • NameCoach is a tool in Canvas that allows students and faculty to record their name pronunciations and pronouns. This tool is now default-enabled in the left-hand navigation bar in all Barnard courses, and appears as “Name and Pronoun.” See this guide for using NameCoach, and feel free to email courseworks@barnard.edu with questions.

Consortium for Higher Education: Best Practices for Supporting Trans Students

Gender Identity & Admissions


Barnard College applications are open to any and every prospective student who lives and identifies as a woman at the time of application. This policy includes transgender women and intersex women as well as cisgender women and excludes people assigned female at birth that now identify as men or outside of the gender binary. For the full text of this policy, announced in 2015, please visit Admissions. 

Once a student gains admission to Barnard College, they can remain a Barnard student regardless of future changes in gender identity. Barnard students of all gender identities have access to support and resources (academic, medical, and otherwise) that support their identity. Barnard College also provides support to those who wish to transfer out of Barnard (as a women's college) due to changes in gender identity. 

LGBTQIA+ Nondiscrimination Policy


Sex, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, and sexual orientation are all protected categories under New York State law and sex is protected through federal law. Barnard’s policy provides additional protections to many categories:

Barnard College is committed to providing an environment free from unlawful discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. As such, Barnard College adheres to all federal and state civil rights laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination in institutions of higher education. Barnard does not discriminate against any employee, applicant for employment, student, or applicant for admission on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, pregnancy, sex, gender identity or expression, or any other protected category under applicable local, state, or federal law, including protections for those opposing discrimination or participating in any grievance process on campus, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or other human rights agencies. In addition, Barnard College does not discriminate on the basis of alienage or citizenship status, marital partnership status, military status, arrest or conviction record, predisposing genetic characteristics, caregiver status, or victim status for the following offenses: domestic violence, stalking, and/or sex offense, in its employment practices.

The full text of Barnard's Policy Against Discrimination and Harassment can be found here. 

Barnard students and employees are encouraged to report incidents of bias and harassment on the basis of religious identity. The Office of Nondiscrimination and Title IX can provide interim measures for affected students and employees including safety measures, schedule adjustments, and various forms of counseling and performs investigations into incidents when needed.

Crisis Support Lines

LGBTQ+-identified people are statistically more like to attempt or commit suicide, with people of color and transgender people at the highest risk.* If you or someone you know is suicidal, seek help as soon as possible. These crisis lines can provide support wherever you are, whenever you need it. 

Trans Lifeline

Trans Lifeline is a grassroots hotline and 501(c)3 nonprofit offering direct emotional and financial support to trans people in crisis run by and for trans people. Trans Lifeline, unlike other hotlines, does not employ emergency response (911) intervention protocols without caller consent.
