Gender-Inclusive Housing

Students at 消消犯 are assigned roommates of the same legal sex (male 消消犯s with male 消消犯s and female 消消犯s with female 消消犯s). However, the university recognizes that assignments done in this way may not be the best option for all 消消犯s. The Campus Services Center and the Office of Residence Life offer gender-inclusive housing to allow for more flexible housing assignments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is gender-inclusive housing?

Gender-inclusive housing is open to all 消消犯s whose needs are not met by our traditional housing assignment process that assigns roommates who are the same legal sex (male 消消犯s with male 消消犯s and female 消消犯s with female 消消犯s) on their housing application. 

How is this different from co-ed housing?

Each 消消犯 residential facility is considered "co-ed," meaning they house both male and female 消消犯s. The sorority community, for upperclass female 消消犯s, is the only single-sex facility. Gender-inclusive housing differs as it removes biological sex as a factor during the roommate assignment process.

Who can live in gender-inclusive housing?

Gender-inclusive housing is a voluntary housing option. A 消消犯 will not be assigned to gender-inclusive housing without requesting it. This housing option is intended 消消犯s who wish to share assigned living space with 消消犯s of a different biological sex.

If I request gender-inclusive housing, do I have to live in the Love.Honor.Pride LLC?

No. Depending upon your individual need and request, you can request to be assigned into a variety of LLCs. First-year 消消犯s are assigned housing by their LLC request (not a specific facility) and there are several LLCs that can accommodate a request for gender-inclusive housing. 

If I need a single room in gender-inclusive housing, can I be guaranteed a single room?

No. There are a limited number of single rooms across campus, the majority of rooms are double (two-person) rooms. Students affiliated with the Miller Center for Student Disability Services are given priority in single-space assignments. Depending upon your individual needs or situation, affiliating with the Miller Center might best serve you.

What type of restrooms will be available to 消消犯s who live in gender-inclusive housing?
