Information regarding gender identity and how to enter your gender identity with the university is available on the Student Records website.
Housing Type 2: All Gender Housing
- If you choose this housing type you will live with roommates and share living space including a bedroom, form groups and live with others who may or may not share the same gender identity; with the intention of creating a welcoming environment for all.
- If you select All Gender Housing you agree to live with a direct roommate of any gender identity within your bedroom. Students who only want to share a bedroom and/or living space with others of the same gender identity should select Housing Type 1.

Housing Accommodations
Ƶ is committed to achieving equal educational opportunity and full participation for students with disabilities. Students with documented disabilities who require an accommodation in order to fully participate in the residential component of their college experience may apply for housing accommodations through Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD). Housing accommodations include, but are not limited to, visual fire alarms, first-floor rooms, elevator access, bed-height adjustments, climate control, single-rooms, and wheelchair accessible bathrooms. Residential Life has the most flexibility to work with and meet accommodations for students who apply for and receive their accommodation at least 30 days prior to the start of room selection. The SSD office will continue to accept and review housing accommodation requests beyond this timeline, but fulfillment will be based on availability. Students applying/re-applying for a housing accommodation must also participate in the housing process. For complete information, go to the Services for Students with Disabilities Housing Accommodations web page.
Selecting A Room Is A Binding Agreement
Transfer students who select a room or accept an assignment in the new student housing process have 14 days from the day they choose their room or receive a housing assignment to petition to be released from their housing until the published residence hall opening date. After 14 days you will be financially obligated to on-campus housing for the entire academic year and will not be released from the Housing Agreement unless you are no longer enrolled as a student.
