University Housing strives to provide comfortable and safe housing accommodations for all students, including students who prefer gender-inclusive housing.

Gender-inclusive housing options are available across campus. Gender-inclusive housing consists of rooms where students can live with any student – regardless of sex, gender, gender identity or expression. The halls/floors available for gender-inclusive housing are dictated by the designated gender makeup and the bathroom configuration in each community. The halls included offer single rooms, same-gender roommates, opposite-gender roommates, or other gender-identity pairings. Students requesting gender-inclusive housing that do not have a specific roommate or hall preference are generally assigned to Korb Hall. 

Gender-inclusive housing is offered based on: (1) availability and (2) the student's compliance with published procedures and timetables for applications and contract renewals. Housing assignments are made on a case-by case basis, recognizing the variability of individual needs and preferences, as well as the fact that appropriate accommodations may be limited in number. If a student wishes to live in gender-inclusive housing but does not have a particular roommate in mind, the assignment staff will assign a random roommate or identify a single room option. A random roommate pairing is based on availability of students interested in gender-inclusive housing. Priority is given to students who notify housing staff that they prefer or are open to gender-inclusive housing.

Students interested in Gender-Inclusive Housing may elect into Gender Inclusive Housing using the Â鶹ӰԺ State Housing application, by following the Gender Inclusive Roommate Room Search and Selection. Should  there be any questions, students may contact University Housing's assignments coordinator [ph. 330-672-9151]. Students may also consult with the director of the LGBTQ Student Center [ph.330.672.8580]. The process is confidential and staff will not ask for any more information than is required to meet students’ housing needs.
