Application Details
All students who wish to live on campus next year must sign a Housing Contract in the 2025-26 Housing Application by the 5 pm on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 due date in order to have the best opportunity of receiving a regular room selection time slot. Time slots during Traditional Room Selection Week will be based upon high school graduation year.
Students who sign a Housing Contract in the 2025-26 Housing Application after the 5 pm on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 due date may be assigned a bed space by Residence Life staff if there is not an active housing wait list. If there is an active housing wait list at the time a student signs the Housing Contract, they will be placed on the wait list. Those who signed their contract after 5 pm on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 will be added to the wait list behind those who met the initial contract due date.
Room Selection Details
Rising seniors will be the first to choose their rooms, followed by rising juniors, then rising sophomores. A student’s designated room selection day/time slot is determined by high school graduation year, not social class nor credit hour academic standing.

Additional Details

An approved disability accommodation in housing does not guarantee that a student will be able to secure on campus housing and all upperclassmen are subject to the housing lottery unless specifically exempted. To ensure processing of accommodation requests prior to room selection, students should submit all requests for accommodation and associated documentation to Student Accessibility Services by February 3, 2025.
Religious Accommodation - Requests for religious accommodations in housing are considered on a case-by-case basis. To ensure processing of accommodation requests prior to room selection, students should submit all requests for accommodation and associated documentation to the Planning, Strategy & Integrative Practices Office by February 3, 2025.
Gender-Inclusive Housing – Residence Life is committed to offering gender-inclusive housing options to ensure inclusive communities. Residence Life offers gender housing preference options for students to meet individual needs.
