We have a variety of gender inclusive housing options throughout our system. Graduate and undergraduate students can be placed in a gender inclusive room in one of our many residential communities on campus and undergraduate students can also opt into our Gender Inclusive Living Experience (GILE).

What are the different room types available for gender inclusive living within Michigan Housing?

Residence hall assignments may include:

• Single or double rooms with a gender-inclusive bathroom in close proximity
• Single or double rooms with an attached bathroom (shared with another single or double room)

Apartment assignments may include:

• One-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and private bath
• Two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and shared bath

Where are the gender-inclusive bathrooms located in M Housing?

There are gender inclusive bathrooms located throughout the residential communities. These are labeled as an inclusive bathroom or bathroom. You can find a list of specific bathrooms here. 

Please contact hsg-accommodations@umich.edu for additional information or specific inquiries.

Who can live in the Gender Inclusive Living Experience?

This housing option is open to all undergraduate students. Students who have an understanding of gender identity* and gender expression and are willing to actively contribute to an inclusive community can live in the Gender Inclusive Living Experience.

How are roommates chosen?

Applicants may preference a roommate on their Gender Inclusive Housing Form or by emailing hsg-accommodations@umich.edu. If you are unable to identify a roommate, Michigan Housing will pair you with a roommate during the assignment process.

How will the bathrooms work?

The Gender Inclusive Living Experience will have a multi-stall community inclusive bathroom. This means that the bathroom will not be restricted to a specific gender. The Gender Inclusive Living Experience will also be close to gender-specific bathrooms. Bathrooms that meet the needs of all members of the community will be available. Gender Inclusive living options outside of GILE are located near inclusive and gender-specific bathrooms.

What if I still have questions?

If you have any questions or wish to discuss your interest or preferences, please send an email to hsg-accommodations@umich.edu.

Students interested in exploring any of our Gender Inclusive Housing options may submit this form. If you have any questions you can email hsg-accommodations@umich.edu to reach a staff member.
