The Rainbow Community serves LGBTQIA+ students and allies with programming and support in partnership with the Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity. This housing option allows you to share a suite with fellow students regardless of sex, gender identity, or gender expression.

Gender Inclusive Assignments (GIA)
GIA is a housing option outside of the Rainbow Community where two or more students share a multiple-occupancy space, in mutual agreement, regardless of the students’ sex, gender identity, and/or gender expression. Rates for Gender Inclusive Assignments are the same as other student rates.
