Gender Inclusive Housing is open to first-year students, sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students.

No. This option can benefit any individual since a student has the ability to choose or be assigned a roommate with whom they would feel most comfortable.

Gender Inclusive Housing is available in Chapman Hall, Eddy Hall, Residence Hall A, and Residence Hall B. Chapman Hall and Eddy Hall have all-gender restrooms with private showers. Rooms in Residence Hall A and B have semi-private single-stall bathrooms with a shower that is only shared among roommates.

We have recently updated how to apply for Gender Inclusive Housing. You will be able to select your spaces through the typical housing process after completing the steps below:

First, you take the first three steps that are necessary for anyone who is interested in housing in the upcoming year.

• Your non-refundable deposit of $300
• Your must be registered for classes for the upcoming year
• Your housing application must be complete

While completing your housing application be sure to indicate that you are interested in Gender Inclusive Housing.

Then you must complete our Residential Communities Application, which is required to be filled out in order live in GI Housing.

This form will also be sent to any students who qualify for selection, marked GIH as a preference, but have not completed the Community Agreement form as of the qualifying emails sent out.

All these steps must be complete in order to create a roommate group with other GI Housing students and to select a room in GI Housing.

Unfortunately, like other specific housing options, there are a limited number of spaces available. If more students apply for gender-inclusive rooms than there is available space, then students who are not able to select a room will be placed on a Gender Inclusive Housing waitlist.

You will now be able to assign yourself to a space! After completing all of the steps for a housing application and the additional Residential Communities Application, you will be designated in the system to select your own spaces.

We encourage all students who do not have a roommate already to go through our processes to find a potential roommate. Some of these options can include our roommate socials offered in all of our halls, through some of our social media pages, through the “Find a roommate feature” on your housing portal.

Please note that you will not see any students who have not already completed ALL steps required of this process.

While the Office of Residential Life and Housing will not restrict the students with whom you live, we discourage students who are in an intimate relationship, regardless of sexual orientation, from living together.

The Office of Residential Life and Housing will work with any students who feel uncomfortable in their living situation. All roommate conflicts will be treated equally and options will be provided to ensure that all students are comfortable in their living situation.
