Gender-Inclusive Housing
Apply for Housing
We offer gender-inclusive housing in all of our residence communities and room types, so you have options!
When you apply for housing, you wil be able to select from the following genders:
| Female | Male | Trans* |
- If your gender identity aligns with the male/female binary, you will select the most appropriate option.
- If your identity does not align with the male/female binary, you will select the gender you would be most comfortable sharing a bathroom with. Housing assignments are driven by gender identity, not biological sex.
Gender-Inclusive Floors
Students may choose to live on a designated gender-inclusive floor in Crawford Residence Community; specifically on the following floors: A3, A4, B3, & B4. These are Standard rooms.
- This designation allows more than one gender identity to live on each floor.
- Each individual room will house students of the same gender identity.
- students on each floor will share the same bathroom.
- Although each toilet stall and shower stall has a floor-to-ceiling lockable door, you could be using one of the private-use stalls across from or next to members of another gender.
- Students who opt-in to gender-inclusive housing will select from or be assigned to units with other students who also opted in. Students who are eligible for roommate matching will have the opportunity to search for roommates who opted in.
Trans* Inclusive Statement
Residential Life is committed to providing a safe and comfortable living environment for all students, including those who gender identity and/or expression differs from the sex assigned to them at birth. Trans* students looking for a supportive living arrangement in the residence halls and apartments should contact Alan "Press" Werden (contact info below).
Residential Life respects and affirms a student's gender identity and/or expression, prioritizes our student's physical and emotional safety, and will find the best match between the student's needs and the options available. Students seeking additional support in the University environment are encouraged to contact the University's LGBT Center (194 Centennial Student Union or 507-389-5131).

He can also give you information about options based on what we have learned from other students and talk about roommates. You'll let Press know which options are your favorite, and he will work with you to get you assigned. |
