Gender Inclusive Housing Options

Residence Life’s priority is for every student to feel welcome and included in their living environment. Our policies aim to reflect the evolving ways we are intentionally supporting students of all gender identities and increasing inclusivity on campus. Students who opt-in to the gender inclusive housing model can select a roommate based upon compatibility, without the constraints of only having access to select roommates of the same assigned sex.

When possible, Residence Life will assign a Resident Assistant (RA) who has specifically opted into gender inclusive housing to oversee this community. If an RA hasn’t specifically opted into this program, someone who understands and respects the principles of this community will be assigned to this position.

Requesting a gender inclusive space is part of the housing application process and administered through the Residence Life Office. If you have specific questions regarding this policy, please contact our office at housing@csum.edu.
