What is All-Gender Housing?
All-Gender Housing (AGH) is an excellent Themed Community option for you if you're
looking for something other than the traditional co-ed housing experience. Students
applying for AGH are able to select a spot in specific units regardless of gender.
AGH units are a home for students of all majors, interests, and genders.
Who can participate in All-Gender Housing?
This option is available for new or continuing students. Students who believe that
this housing option will best support their personal needs as they further their education
in the Snow College community may contact the Office of Residence Life to discuss
what options are available.
What if parents/legal guardians do not want their student to live in a All-Gender
housing room/suite/apartment?
We encourage all students to maintain an open dialog with their families regarding
housing decisions, however all students (once admitted to Snow College) are legally
able to make decisions about their housing agreements without parental consent due
to FERPA law. All student information is confidential except to the student, necessary
College personnel, and those whom with the student as completed a FERPA Release form
with the Registrar's Office.
Can people who are romantically involved live together?
All-Gender Housing is not intended for romantic couples. As a general rule, we strongly
advise against this practice. We respect and honor the privacy of our students, while
realizing that there is no true way to determine if this is the intent when applying.
However, please note that the Office of Housing and Residence Life strongly encourages
students to reconsider living with a person with whom they are romantically involved.
Some relationships are ready for this step while others are not, and there can be
serious challenges for both students should the relationship end while being roommates.
