Returning Student Housing Selection

1. Submit your Housing & Off Campus Application

Residents will select their roommate(s) and exact assignments. This is to give students more opportunity to select their housing and to honor students with higher academic status and GPA. It also provides more transparency in the housing process and will allow for new specialty housing.  Students who do not participate in Housing selection will be assigned housing.

Roommates

Roommates are permitted to select their housing assignment at the same time. Roommate pairs who wish to live together should attend selection at the time of the person in the group who has the earliest time slot. If three or four people wish to live together, they are welcome to select their housing at the same time for spaces that accommodate four residents (ex. a 2-bedroom apartment). If three and four person spaces are unavailable, the roommate group must separate.

Keep Current Room

Residents are permitted to select their current assignment to retain for the coming year. To retain that assignment, residents must submit identify on the housing application that they want to keep their current space and must include roommates to fill all vacant spots or agree to having roommates assigned. Harter, Dotzour, & Metzler will not be initially eligible for students to retain.
