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)?:
Yes

A brief description of the program, policy, or practice:

Housing options to accommodate the special needs of transgender and transitioning students is offered in a limited manner. If a student inquires about a housing arrangement that supports his/her needs, the staff in the housing office will work with that person to try and identify a satisfactory arrangement (pair up with roommate of choice, access to a private bathroom). For the very limited number of returning students who return for a second year to live in one of the West Campus Houses, if they can fill a suite with the appropriate number of students, it can be of mixed gender (but only if all of the suite mates are returning to that house for a second year). This option is not available to others moving from first year communities.
