Housing Selection

Housing Selection for Returning & Transfer Students

Incoming First-Year Student?

Go to the Housing Application to complete your housing selection process.

Housing selection is the process through which returning and transfer students secure on-campus housing for the upcoming academic year. 

To participate in housing selection, students must complete the following steps by the listed deadlines: 

  • Step 1: Pay the $75 Housing Application Fee by March 17 
  • Step 2: Submit the Academic Year Housing Application by March 24 

Students who submit the housing application after the March 24 priority deadline may still participate in housing selection but will receive a lottery number on a rolling basis rather than by enrollment year and group status. 

Important Housing Dates

  • Housing Application Fee ($75): Due March 17
  • Housing Application Deadline: March 24
  • Lottery Number Distribution: March 25
  • Roommate Group Creation: March 25—April 13
  • Room Selection: April 13—April 24 (based on enrollment year, group status, and lottery number)

Application Fee

The $75 Housing Application Fee is required to live in on-campus housing and participate in housing selection. 

This non-refundable fee:

  • Confirms your intent to live on campus
  • Provides access to the housing application
  • Helps the Office of Residential Life plan housing availability

The fee can be paid through CASHNET or in person at the Center for Student Success (CSS).

Timing note: The Housing Application will become available 48 hours after your application fee has been processed. For example, if you pay the fee on a Monday, the application will be available by Wednesday.
