Gender Inclusive Housing

Campus Housing offers gender-inclusive housing options for students. It is the intention of Campus Housing to make room assignments on how you, the student, identify. Please contact the Housing Operations Manager (925-631-4897) to discuss your housing preferences. Students are also able to opt into gender inclusive housing (GIH) in their housing application which'll allow them to connect with other students interested in GIH on the roommate selection page and live in a variety of room types across campus. For additional support and resources, please contact the Director of the Intercultural Center (925-631-8358) or the Director of the Center for Women and Gender Equity (925-631-4171).
