Apartment-Style Housing on Campus

Gender Inclusive Housing Policy
Housing & Residential Life strives to offer every residential student a placement that feels safe, comfortable and supported. Gender Inclusive Housing will be open to all residents, including first year students (who are over the age of 18). Gender Inclusive Housing allows same gender roommates, opposite gender roommates or other gender-identified roommate pairings. This community is designed as an intentional living community affirming the cultural experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and questioning residents as well as their allies. Residents should express interest during the application process, when prompted. Housing will confirm through email that this is the correct housing option you are interested, as this community will not be forced upon any student.
Gender Inclusive Housing is first come first serve and is limited based on interest. The Housing & Residential Life Office discourages all students in romantic relationships from living together on campus – whether in Gender Inclusive Housing, or otherwise. Additionally, while we do not force students to speak to their parents about their housing options, we strongly encourage students to communicate with their parents so they can fully support the decision to live in Gender Inclusive Housing. All students will be contacted before an assignment is made and may be asked to provide supplemental information. We do reserve the right to change a student’s assignment at any time for any reason. Gender Inclusive apartments are equipped with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, which are shared by members of the apartment – the apartments house 4 to 6 residents.
To participate within this housing arrangement, you must agree to the following:
- I accept that I will reside in a space where I may share a bedroom, bathroom, and/or common space within an apartment with another resident(s) of a different gender, gender-identity, or gender-expression than my own.
- I understand that I will be expected to be an active member and bystander for the LGBTQ+ community and work to build an inclusive and supportive community.
- I understand that I was informed that couples should not reside in the same bedroom or apartment.
- I understand that Housing & Residential Life reserves the right to make administrative moves throughout the year, as required to maintain a safe and learner centered community for all residents.
