Gender-Inclusive Housing & Restroom Access
On-Campus Housing for Trans/NB/GNC Students
The Residential Living team is committed to partnering with students to identify safe and appropriate housing for individuals who identify as transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming on a case-by-case basis. For more information, visit Residential Living’s website or reach out to Residential Living directly at residentialliving@georgetown.edu.
The LGBTQ Resource Center can also serve as a liaison between queer students and the Office of Residential Living to provide further support. We invite students to reach out to the Center at lgbtq@georgetown.edu.
Gender-Inclusive Housing
The Residential Living team is committed to partnering with students to identify safe and appropriate housing for individuals who identify as transgender, non-binary or gender non-conforming, and as such, we now offer a Gender Inclusive Housing voluntary option for our residents. Gender Inclusive Housing (GIH) seeks to provide an environment that is welcoming to all students regardless of gender identity and/or gender expression, including members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Returning students can apply for GIH via the housing application in Hoya Housing during Housing Selection. Returning students opting into GIH will be able to form groups with other students opting into GIH in the Group Formation phases, allowing the opportunity to self-select into an available room on campus together.
New students opting into GIH will be able to name other students opting into GIH housing and will be housed in the same residential complex as other students who opt into GIH housing. Undergraduate students recently voted in spring 2024 on a GUSA-supported student referendum in support of gender-inclusive housing in our residential system. Student referenda express students’ views on an issue.
Starting with the housing application for the class of 2028, Georgetown has added a question to its housing process to provide a gender-inclusive option. New students can indicate they identify as a transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming individual seeking gender-inclusive housing, or they are welcoming and affirming of LGBTQ individuals and wish to be considered as a potential roommate for students seeking gender-inclusive housing.
On-Campus All-Gender Bathroom Map
To access the live map of all-gender bathrooms on campus, navigate to the Amenities tab in the menu found on the left side of the page. Select the checkbox labeled “All Gender Bathrooms,” and pins will appear on the campus map.
If members of the campus community are aware of a gender-neutral or all-gender bathroom on campus that is not on this map, they are welcome and encouraged to email the exact location of the bathroom, current signage, and a picture to workmanagement@georgetown.edu so that it can be added to the map.

Refuge Restrooms is a web application that seeks to provide safe restroom access for transgender, intersex, and gender nonconforming individuals. Users can search for restrooms by proximity to a search location, add new restroom listings, as well as comment and rate existing listings.
