All-Gender Housing

In keeping with the mission of Pace to promote and support diversity, the Office of Housing and Residential Life in New York City offers all-gender housing options to students who demonstrate an interest in and need for such accommodation.

This process seeks to provide a living environment welcoming to all gender identities; one not limited by the traditional gender binary. All-gender housing allows for same-gender, different-gender, non-gender, gender-queer or other-gender identities to live together regardless of biological sex in a platonic environment in which they feel safe and supported.

For new students interested in living in all-gender housing, please read more below:

Incoming first-year or transfer students

Without roommate preference, please complete the following:

  • Once you have applied for housing through MyHousing, you can look to link with other students in your same “pool” (the pool of new first-year students, or the pool of new transfer or graduate students) to link with one or more of them to be roommates.
  • To link with other students, you will need to log back in to MyHousing. Once there, select “Room Selection” from the top menu, then “Roommates/Suitemates.”

New students who are interested in all-gender housing for the 2021–2022 year must also apply and deposit online through MyHousing.

Returning students can find the instructions for all-gender housing here.

All-gender housing participants must commit to maintaining an inclusive and welcoming living environment free of discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. All-gender housing is not guaranteed to any student, and it will be denied in cases where applicants are attempting to secure housing for non-platonic relationships.

Late applications, cancellations, and transfer requests may be considered, but accommodations cannot be guaranteed. Unless students have specifically received approval for their late application for all-gender housing, they will be placed in a similar matter to all.
