Room Selection Schedule
Overview
Before selecting room space, residents must have applied for housing, paid the fee, and electronically signed a housing contract. Your room selection time and process depends on your student status and chosen community.
Residence Halls and Apartments
First priority for room selection is given to current residents in residence halls and apartments who are planning to return to their current space. Current residents who plan to move to a new room or hall next year are second.
New incoming residents in residence halls and apartments are organized into group numbers for room selection. Group numbers are assigned one business day after the resident submits their Housing contract.
Scholarship Halls
Residents who are selected for the scholarship hall community are assigned space and will be notified when that occurs.
