All individuals may use facilities such as restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms that correspond with their gender identity; in other words, individuals may use the restroom of the gender they identify with. This is consistent with WAC 162-32-060.
Gender neutral restrooms are available for all to use, including people who are gender expansive, trans, and nonbinary. They provide greater privacy for those who prefer it, and are accessible to persons with disabilities who have a caregiver of a different gender or to parents with a child of a different gender than themselves.

UW does not provide health insurance for domestic students (U.S. citizens, green card holders, permanent residents, along with DACA and undocumented students). However, the UW offers health insurance to two student groups: graduate students whose UW employment positions qualify them for the Graduate Appointee Insurance Program (GAIP) and international students on J1 and F1 student visas via the International Student Health Insurance Program (ISHIP).

- If you are a domestic student residing in any Washington state county, and don’t have insurance, you will need to seek insurance through the Washington State Health Plan Finder, Washington state’s health insurance marketplace. Call 206.543.6202.
- Domestic students residing in King County can get help on how to use the Washington State Health Plan Finder, by contacting the Community Health Access Program (CHAP) at 1-800-756-5437 or chap@kingcounty.gov.
