Housing Applications Information

26-27 Academic Year Waitlist Application

At this time, on-campus housing has reached full capacity and we are no longer accepting additional housing contracts. Students who are still interested in living on campus are encouraged to complete the waitlist application that is available on the housing portal.

As spaces become available, offers will be extended on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis. Please note that availability may be limited and preferences cannot be guaranteed.

Summer 2026 Application 

The Summer Housing application is available via the housing portal for both the Full Summer and the Second Summer Session.

 

Academic Year Application Cycle

Phase #1 - Opened January 5th

  • General Application: Students will get the opportunity to indicate their interest and preferences as this is just the general application phase. This phase does not at all secure housing for the upcoming academic year, but it informs housing that students are interested in housing. 

Phase #2  - Opens Early March 

  • Application Fee: First, students will pay the $100 nonrefundable application fee.
  • Sign Contract: Once the payment step is completed students will then get to sign the contract once they know for sure that they would like to live on campus with us.  
  • Roommate matching: The final step of this phase is to complete the roommate matching step where students can create roommate group with another student they would like to room with. *Students are only able to match with other’s who have matching profiles (Honors, BP, TRC, etc.) and are only able to match with one person – they cannot create a group larger than 2.  

Phase #3 - Starts Late March

  • Room selection: If the student has completed the application and signed the contract by the priority deadlines, they will have the opportunity to participate in room selection based on availability. 
  • Room assignment: All students that have signed the contract by the next set deadline will be assigned a space as there will be limited availability at that time. 
  • Rolling Assignment: Students that have signed a contract and have not received an assignment will be assigned on a rolling basis.
