We also understand that gender identity can be complex, and that the gender identity spectrum not only includes people who identify as male and female, but also those who identify as transgender, FTM, MTF, and genderqueer, among others.

Substance Free Housing Request Form (Optional)



The Housing and Residential Life Office offers the option of living in a substance free and wellness focused community within our residence halls. Residents in substance free housing agree that they and their guests will not consume alcohol or be under the influence of alcohol or other substances while in the residence hall. In addition, they agree to abide by the Institute's smoking policy, the Institute's prohibition against illegal drug use, and the Institute's policy which requires only medically prescribed use of prescription drugs.

We created the substance free housing option as an effort to provide a healthy, supportive and welcoming living environment for all of our students.

While underage drinking and illegal drug use are not permitted anywhere within the residence halls or at SFAI, the Substance Free Community will have supplemental and specialized programming geared toward supporting a sober lifestyle.

Upon arriving to campus in August, students opting into this community will sign a separate substance free housing contract. Violating the contract may result in community relocation.
