Phase 1 (Opens November 2, 2026 at 10 am)

Apply for on-campus living and choose your roommate

Phase 2 (Opens February 16 & 18, 2027 at 5 pm)

Room Selection & Housing Confirmation

Roommate requests are not guaranteed. It is a student’s responsibility to ensure that when selecting a room, if they have a confirmed roommate request, that the roommate is also placed in the room.  Requesting a roommate after you have chosen a room will not pull the person into the room. Always log back in and double-check that you were both assigned to the room.

Any student (current or new) who has applied for housing but misses the opportunity for room selection (which closes July 15, 2027) may have their room assigned by the Office of Residence Life according to room availability.

Phase 2 timeslots

Your time slot for room selection, Phase 2, depends on when you complete Phase 1 of the housing application process.

The earlier you complete Phase 1 on the Housing Application, the better time slot you will receive for Phase 2. Below are the dates and times for room selection:

  • If you complete Phase 1 between November 2 and November 30:

    Females: 5:00 - 5:20 PM on Tuesday, February 16, 2027

    Males: 5:00 - 5:20 PM on Thursday, February 18, 2027

  • If you complete Phase 1 between December 1 and December 31:

    Females: 5:20 - 5:40 PM on Tuesday, February 16, 2027

    Males: 5:20 - 5:40 PM on Thursday, February 18, 2027

  • If you complete Phase 1 between January 1 and January 31:

    Females: 5:40 - 6:00 PM on Tuesday, February 16, 2027
