About gender-inclusive housing

Residential Life strives to accommodate student's individual requests for safe, inclusive, accessible housing, regardless of students' gender identity or sex assigned at birth.

We have three options for students preferring this housing:

1. Gender inclusive housing by suite/apartment - A residence hall suite or apartment with roommates determined without regard to biological sex or gender identity. These individuals share a restroom (toilet, shower, sinks, etc.) within their unit.
2. Gender inclusive housing by room - A residence hall room with a roommate(s) determined without regard to biological sex or gender identity. These individuals with share a community restroom (toilet, shower, sinks, etc.) in the community that is separated by sex (male restroom, female restroom).
3. Gender inclusive communal housing - An entire residence hall floor where all individuals in the community live without regard to biological sex or gender identity (including roommate pairings, if applicable).  These students share two gender inclusive bathrooms that have private stalls for toilets with partitions going nearly to the floor and ceiling and shower stalls with partitions going nearly to the floor and ceiling with individual changing areas.

Gender inclusive housing provides an affirming, safe, and supportive environment for transgender students, gender-nonconforming students, and the larger LGBTQIA+ student community. Gender inclusive housing participants must commit to maintaining an inclusive and welcoming living environment.
