Does the institution offer housing options to accomodate the special needs of transgender and transitioning students (either as a matter of policy or as standard practice)?:
A brief description of the program, policy, or practice:
Bard offers gender neutral housing to all incoming students.
This housing option is designed for students to be paired with a roommate or roommates based on compatibility rather than gender identity. Newly admitted students may choose this option on their Housing Profile form and returning students may do so when participating in the annual Room Draw. Students requesting this option may or may not be placed with someone who identifies with the LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Intersex). This option can benefit any individual since a student has the ability to choose or be assigned a roommate with whom they would feel most comfortable. Pairing roommates together will not be contingent on an identified gender since some students’ gender may be in flux.
