New Student Housing Information

Students complete and submit the initial housing application to sign up and provide intent to participate in the incoming student housing selection offered in mid-June 2025. Students must participate in the process to make a housing selection of their choice. The deadline to submit this housing application is June 5, 2025 to participate in the June housing selection.

On June 18^th we will notify students who applied by the deadline of their housing date and time to select.  Housing selection dates and times are distributed completely random. Housing assignments are NOT based on the date of application and are NOT made on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Students who either apply after June 5th, do not select, forget, or miss their selection will be administratively assigned to housing based on availability of space after housing selection has completed. 

There is a $200 non-refundable housing deposit required at the end of this housing application payable by credit card. A completed application, including payment of the housing deposit, by June 5th is necessary to participate in housing selection. 

Students may request one roommate on their application. Both students must "mutually confirm" by identifying their roommate name and RUID. We do not guarantee roommate requests. A roommate request does not impact the randomly assigned date and time of your housing selection. 

We do not collect campus or building preferences. Students participate in housing selection and choose from available options at the time of their selection. Not all students will be assigned to their first choice campus or building. As selection occurs over multiple days and is live and dynamic, it is important to consider several housing options through the housing selection process. 

It is important to participate in the process and make a choice to be assigned to a housing assignment. Students who walk away from the process are not guaranteed housing after selection concludes. 

Selecting housing in selection provides a tentative housing assignment that will be confirmed in early August when we will also provide move-in information. Residence Life reserves the right to consolidate or change housing assignments to accommodate as many students as possible based on the demand for on-campus housing.
