Room selection is done online on the Housing Portal during your assigned time slot.
Room Selection Calendar
Prepare, prepare, prepare!
Review the online selection process carefully to learn what you can do ahead of time to ensure your best possible outcome during your time slot. This includes reviewing the New Student Time Slot and Guide Information as well as our Residence Hall information pages. Fall Semester on-campus Freshmen residents are housed in Freshmen residence Halls only.
Don't have a roommate?
For students who prefer to be assigned with a random roommate instead of being a part of a roommate group, they will disregard their time slot TIME and instead select into an available bed spaces between 3:30 p.m. through 5:00 p.m. on their time slot DAY. Please know that you will be assigned a roommate at random and that roommate questionnaire responses would not be considered at time of assignment.
What happens if there are more new student housing applicants than available bed spaces?
While we are unable to anticipate if this will occur in any given year, we want students and families to know how decisions are made in the event the yield of the incoming class is higher than expected.
Residence Life will pull students from the new student self-selection process based upon the most recent admission deposits paid/waived date and send them an email notification on June 15, 2023 to inform them that they are on hold for a housing assignment.
Required to Live On
New students who ARE required to live on campus as part of the 2 Year Live On Requirement, WILL have a room assignment before they arrive on campus in August.
Any student on hold from the self-selection process will be administratively assigned a room by Residence Life over the summer as spaces open.
Typically the number of newly admitted students adjusts over the summer to make room for all new students who are required to live on campus.
Not Required To Live On
New students who are NOT required to live on campus but wish to do so will be added to the room selection process only if there are spaces available after required new students are processed.
If there are not spaces available for new students who are not required to live on campus, they will notified on June 15, 2023 that they can choose to remain on the transfer student housing wait list (no guarantee of on campus housing) or cancel without a fee through August 1, 2023 as long as there is an active housing wait list.
