Housing Selection for 2026–27 is coming up soon and is an important step for students planning to live on campus next year. The process runs from late March through early April and gives students the opportunity to choose where they will live and who they would like to live with.

To receive priority access to select housing and take part in the roommate or suitemate pull-in process, students must submit the $300 non-refundable housing application fee by Tuesday, March 3. Students who submit the fee after this deadline may still participate based on space availability but will not have access to the pull-in process.

After the fee is paid, students will receive an email in mid-March with their specific selection date and time. Current residents select before commuters, as long as all application steps are completed on time. Incoming students will begin their housing selection in June. Learn More!
