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.
* Please refer to our Dates and Deadlines webpage for specific dates regarding the application cycle.*
