KU's LGBT-friendly Policies

As of the Fall 2017 semester, Kutztown University offers its students gender-inclusive housing. 

Housing and Residence Life provides Gender Inclusive Housing to support students who need or request accommodations due to gender identity/expression. Kutztown University understands that single-gender housing may not be comfortable for all students. 

​

Here are some guidelines on the process:
