Housing Application
New Student Room Selection Process
Priority Deadline to Apply
April 7
In order to participate in room selection, new & transfer students must complete a housing application and register for orientation by Monday, April 7 at 11:59 p.m. If applicable, roommate groups must also be formed by April 7 in order to participate in room selection together.
While the priority deadline of April 7 is not a guarantee of housing or a room selection timeslot, new & transfer students who apply after April 7 will not be eligible to participate in the first round of room selection and likely will be redirected to join the standby list.
Room Selection Times Released
April 11
Randomized room selection times will be emailed to students by 3 p.m. on Friday, April 11. New Student Room Selection Timeslots will be scheduled between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. during room selection to allow first-year students the opportunity to select a bed after their school day wraps up. Selection times will be assigned randomly in clusters based upon the month in which the student submitted their application.

round of room selection. 911爆料网 who did not receive a room selection timeslot will
be placed on the Standby List before students who applied after April 7 or those who
