Gender Inclusive at Miami
Restrooms
LGBTQ+ Initiatives is committed to supporting students of all gender identities and/or gender expressions. This campus map lists most of the gender-inclusive and single stall restrooms on the Miami University Oxford campus. Having building space with bathroom facilities that are ADA-accessible and open to people of any gender is an important way to make sure that all members of the campus community have access to spaces that meet their basic needs.
This map identifies any single-stall, lockable restrooms that are known to LGBTQ+ Initiatives. If you know of any gender-inclusive restrooms that are not listed here, please email the building and room number to hallmg@miamioh.edu.
Housing
Miami University recognizes that sex-segregated housing may not be the best option for some students. In cooperation with the Campus Services Center, the Office of Residence Life offers gender inclusive housing as an option. Gender inclusive housing provides a comfortable and safe living environment for the student.

Questions about the gender inclusive housing policy can be directed to Tresa Barlage Zianno in the Office of Residence Life via email at barlagtm@miamioh.edu.
Changing Names
Many members of the Miami community use a name that differs from their legal name (listed as “primary name” in university data systems). These may include individuals who prefer to use:
- a middle name instead of a first name;
- an anglicized name;
- a name to which the individual is in the process of legally changing; or
- a name that better represents the individual’s gender identity.
To encourage a more welcoming climate, Miami is in the process of implementing procedures that allow students, faculty, and staff to indicate their name of use to the university community regardless of whether they have legally changed their name and as long as the name of use is not for the purpose of misrepresentation.
The name of use will be used consistently across internal University communication and reporting systems, except where the legal name is necessitated by legal or business requirement.
