Navigating Campus

The Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Life is the go-to resource for LGBTQ students to connect to campus services and information.

Navigating Campus


Allies are encouraged to visit the Office of LGBT Life to learn more about resources and join in community with staff and students. The Office of LGBT Life is welcoming of all Emory community members. You may make appointments with professional staff members or simply stop by during regular business hours. Students can also join one of the many student organizations on campus. 

The Office of LGBT Life and Campus Services have compiled a list of all-gender, single-stall, or single-occupant bathrooms on campus. Those denoted with a wheelchair icon are also wheelchair accessible.

Please note: To use the bathrooms in the residence halls, student-residents will need their EmoryCard prox access to enter the buildings.

Please email us at lgbt@emory.edu if you know of a bathroom not listed on the map.

If you know of a bathroom that is not listed here, please fill out a form to let us know.

Some gender inclusive bathrooms are indicated by the signs found at the following website: http://www.mydoorsign.com/all-gender-restroom-signs.

Students are not required to come out to their professors. However, if you plan to change your name in OPUS, you may find yourself needing to inform a professor about your new name. The Office of LGBT Life can talk through ways of broaching this topic with professors. Email us at lgbt@emory.edu to find a time to chat.

The Office of LGBT Life can also assist professors in understanding the issues that trans students face in their classrooms and on campus. Email us at lgbt@emory.edu to schedule a meeting.
