Gender Neutral Housing

Gender Neutral Housing Overview

What is gender-neutral housing?

Gender neutral housing is an option in which two students may share a multiple-occupancy residence hall room, in mutual agreement, regardless of either students’ sex or gender.

Where is it available?

Gender neutral housing is only available in rooms assigned as upper-class student housing; it is not available to students in the First-Year Program

 Rooms in the following housing selection processes are available as gender neutral housing:

• All townhouse doubles
• All suite doubles
• All theme house doubles
• All double rooms in room draw labeled as “either” gender
• Not available in Greek housing
• Not available in singles, triples or quads

Other Information

• Upper-class students have the opportunity to request a roommate of any sex or gender

• Any upper-class student may apply to gender neutral housing through the traditional housing selection processes occurring in the spring semester.  A consent form must be signed and placed on file with the Office of Residence Life prior to being placed in a gender neutral housing assignment.

• No student will be randomly assigned to gender neutral housing.  In the event of a bed vacancy, students applying for a room change or being initially placed into housing will not be assigned to a room with a student of the opposite sex or gender.
