Same-sex domestic partner benefits offer full-time students the opportunity to access benefits for their same-sex domestic partner similar to those currently available to a student’s spouse, including:

• University identification cards, which are required to gain access to campus services such as the library, recreational facilities, and computing resources, and;
• University housing.

To apply for these benefits, a Student Affirmation of Same-Sex Domestic Partnership form must be completed through the Office of the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs for Inclusion, Community, and Citizenship.
