The following policy and conditions are applicable to students who elect to live in a gender-inclusive space.

Students may choose to request a roommate(s) of any sex or gender.
Residence Life will only honor those requests made by all parties living within the same living space (i.e., room, apartment, suite).
Returning students must select spaces with their prospective roommate(s) following the same processes and deadlines of all students entering the housing selection process.
Students will not be required to reveal their reasons for opting to live in gender-inclusive housing, although romantic relationships within the same living space are discouraged.
Students will not be assigned to gender-inclusive housing unless they have elected to do so. Although we feel that students are able to make decisions about their housing situation, we encourage students to maintain an open dialogue with their families about their decision to live in a gender-inclusive situation.
As with any roommate situation, conflict between individuals may arise. We strongly encourage proactive conversation between roommates regarding room preferences, utilizing a roommate agreement. Your RA will be facilitating a roommate agreement with you. Room change requests due to conflict will follow the same procedure as any other conflict, using the student staff and/or professional staff members to aid the situation.
When there is a vacancy in a gender-inclusive space, the student(s) remaining in the room may elect to pull in any new roommate whose age is appropriate for the style of housing, following other standard procedures within Residence Life. In the event of an additional resident moving into the space, all parties must be agreeable to the change.
Any space in Ludlow, 23rd Street Residence, and 24th Street Residence can be gender-inclusive. This avoids segregation and offers students gender-inclusive housing within multiple housing styles. The default designation for a room, apartment, or suite will be single-gender unless the students selecting into the space opt to create a gender-inclusive pair/group. Once a room, apartment, suite is gender-inclusive that space will continue to be gender-inclusive as long as the residents can continue to occupy the living space.
