Gender Inclusive Housing (GIH) is a voluntary housing option where students can be assigned to live in the same room with any other student regardless of sex, gender assigned at birth, biological gender, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation. 

• This housing option is only available to those who have lived on campus for one year or more. If an incoming first year or transfer student is interested in living in this community, they will be required to contact the Director of Student Life and Residential Services for further information to make sure they are placed in the space best suited towards their needs. 

• No student will be forcibly or randomly placed into a Gender Inclusive Housing assignment. If a student does not wish to live in that community, they will be placed with roommates of the same biological sex. 

• Students will be allowed to choose roommates in this community based on compatibility rather than based on biological sex. 

• You must be at least 18 years old to opt-in to this housing option. Anyone under the age of 18 will not be permitted to live in gender inclusive housing for liability concerns. 

• Students will be asked prior to the housing selection process to complete a separate application with information on what type of person they’d like to live with. 

• The preferred living space for students in Gender Inclusive Housing would be single bedrooms. However, we understand that cost is generally a concern. Because of this, students who wish to live in a double or triple within this community must request specific roommates. 

• When a space is left empty, students will be given a specified amount of time to identify and request a new roommate. If students fail to do this, the space will be filled with someone that had been placed on a waitlist or, due to the nature of this community, the space will go unfilled. 

• This policy is not intended for couples of any orientation. Capitol Technology University does not support cohabitating with romantic partners as it not only distracts those around the couple but the couple themselves from focusing on their academics.  

• Parents will not be notified if a student has opted in to live in this community. It is the student's responsibility and right to share whatever information they so choose with their families. It will not show up on any bills or paperwork as anything different. 

• The Office of Residence Life expects all inhabitants of this community to respect everyone of all identities, even those that don’t align with their own. If there seems to be an issue with people respecting others, the Office of Residence Life reserves the right to intervene and relocate those that they see fit.
