		University Housing Policy on Gender Neutral Housing University Housing, following the tenets of its Living at Michigan Credo, seeks to ensure students in all its residential facilities a safe, comfortable, and dignified living experience. University Housing strives to serve students who need gender-neutral housing or accommodations supportive of transgender individuals by offering such spaces in our residence halls and apartments. These spaces are offered based on their availability as well as on the student’s eligibility for on-campus housing (only freshmen are guaranteed on-campus housing) and compliance with published procedures and timetables for applications and contracts. Housing assignments are made on a case-by-case basis that recognizes the variability of individual needs and preferences and the fact that appropriate accommodations may be limited in number. Students are assigned to apartments or residence hall rooms according to their birth gender until sex reassignment surgery is complete. As for all applicants to University Housing, no guarantee can be made that all stated preferences can be met. Prospective or current students who are interested in a gender-neutral residence hall or apartment space are asked to contact one of the University staff liaisons listed below as soon as possible. They can provide a personal and confidential assessment of options available for the term or academic year desired. Possible residence hall assignments can include: • single or double rooms with a private bathroom • single or double rooms where a unisex bathroom is in close proximity • single or double rooms with attached bathroom shared with another single or double room Possible apartment assignments (must be sophomore or above in class standing) can include: • One- or two-bedroom apartments with kitchen and bath The following staff members are available throughout the year to discuss residential options related to gender identity or gender expression on a confidential basis: Patricia Griffin Associate Director, Residence Education 734-763-3161 pgriffin@umich.edu Jacqueline Simpson Director,The Spectrum Center 734-763-4186 jdsimps@umich.edu Adopted by University Housing, December 2005
