Please note:
As there is already a waitlist for next year's on-Grounds spaces, Housing & Residence Life is not planning to open a 2025-2026 housing application for students currently living off-Grounds. We will reevaluate this decision at the end of April 2025.
Important notes
- Each on-Grounds housing applicant will receive a room selection timeslot. Any group member can select rooms for their group, so the student with the earliest timeslot can choose for all group members.
- Rising third-year and fourth-year residents who choose not to stay in their same area will select rooms AFTER rising second-year applicants.
- In apartment-style housing, all group members must be placed within the same apartment. For example, a group of four roommates cannot select two 2-person apartments.
- You have control of your roommate group and can make any changes you like during the room selection process, including splitting into smaller groups.
- Accepted housing agreements constitute a binding contract for the entire academic year, and after the March 31 cancellation deadline you are responsible for the full academic year room rent. You will be released from the agreement only if you withdraw from the University, study abroad, or find a replacement student approved by Housing & Residence Life to take over your contract.
- Once you accept an offer, you are not eligible for any additional steps in the application process. For example, if you accept an offer to stay in the same area, you cannot later apply for a new residential college or apartment.
- Assignments will be consolidated after the same area housing application deadline in order to maximize the number of fully vacant apartments before the opening of the standard housing application.
- As there is already a waitlist for next year's on-Grounds spaces, Housing & Residence Life is not planning to open a 2025-2026 housing application for students currently living off-Grounds. We will reevaluate this decision at the end of April 2025.
