What you need to know to apply for on-campus housing!
These instructions are for continuing students only which includes (Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, Graduate Students, and Doctoral Students returning for their second year).
If you are a new student (including students retuning for a new degree), please refer to the Accepted Students Housing page.
The Housing Application will be live from March 1st through April 5th.
 You must submit your Housing Application by April 5th to be eligible to select your room on April 16th and April 18th. Complete your Housing Application via eRezlife
PLEASE NOTE: Your housing selection timeslot does not depend on how quickly you complete the application, so please take your time!
Once you have completed Step 1 on time, you will be assigned a housing selection time slot. You will receive an e-mail with this information on April 15th.
When it is your time, sign on and follow the prompts to select housing.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL TIME SLOTS ARE IN EASTERN STANDARD TIME
Review the Housing & Meal Plan Rates for information regarding this year’s rates and fees.
Continuing students who apply during Housing Selection and are assigned a room are bound by the terms of the Residence Hall Agreement 5business days after receiving their housing assignment. This includes required students (rising sophomores) and non-required students (juniors, seniors, second year graduate students, professional study and doctoral students.)
Due to the first- and second-year undergraduate student residential requirements, specific floors and rooms will not be available for the housing selection process. This restriction will limit the number of spaces that will be readily available for returning students to select and may result in a waitlist for housing. When the demand for space for first- and second-year students has been satisfied, additional spaces will be offered to students on the waitlist. Any additional questions can be answered by contacting the Office of Residence Life. Waitlisted students will be notified of their status and will be contacted and placed as rooms become available.
Q: If the application is not timed, how is the order determined? A: Housing applicants will receive a housing selection time. The earlier your timeslot, the better chance you have of getting your preferred room. This is where Polar Points come into play. Those with more Polar Points will receive an earlier selection time. Even if you don’t have any Polar Points, you will still receive a selection time if you apply for housing by the deadline.
Q: How can I find a roommate? A: Need help finding a roommate? Complete the 2024-2025 Roommate Search Form. We’ll create a roommate search directory using the information students provide. The sooner you fill out the form, the sooner we can share your profile with other students.
Q: How can I search for rooms? A: Floor plans will be posted on eRezLife on under Resources a week before the first selection day.
Q: Can I reserve a space if I don’t have a roommate? A: Unfortunately, not. You should try to find a roommate via the resources on eRezLife or Residence Life will use your preferences listed on your housing application to try to match you with the most compatible roommate available.
Q: What if I don’t get a roommate or room, I’m happy with? A: Residence Life holds a Room Change Period once a semester (Fall & Spring) to help accommodate changes to students living arrangements.
Q: What if I don’t get a single room? A: After Housing Selection, Residence Life will send out a form where students can sign up to be placed on the singles waitlist. If a single room becomes available to offer, we will offer it to the next person on the singles waitlist, based on the order that they signed up in.
Q: What if there aren’t any rooms available for me to select? A: If all of our housing is filled, you will be placed on the housing waitlist. We will reach out to students on the housing waitlist to offer spaces as they become available.
