To participate in Room Selection this fall, rising juniors and rising seniors must apply via the Housing and Dining Portal by September 27, 2026 at midnight. While we are unable to guarantee housing to juniors and seniors, we are committed to accommodating as many students as possible given our available spaces on campus. Students who fail to apply for housing by the deadline will not be given a timeslot and will be redirected to join the waitlist when it opens.

Housing information sessions

You can use these opportunities to learn about your options for living on campus, such as in residence halls, apartments, the West Campus House System, or Program Houses, and ask any questions you have about the upcoming process.

Dates, times, and locations will be shared once room reservations are confirmed. 

Program House Participation

Any rising junior or senior who wants to live in a program house for the 27-28 Academic Year should participate in Priority Program House Selection. To be given a timeslot for Priority Program House Selection, students can indicate on their application up to three program houses they are interested in living in. Language House, Veterans House, and Sober Living Community have additional applications included in the housing application which will be given to students to complete if they preference those houses. You must complete the additional application and be approved to be able to select into those Program Houses.

Beds in program houses may not be available during other stages of the Fall Housing Selection process. Students who want to live in a program house must preference a program house in their application and select during Priority Program House Selection. 

Roommate Considerations  

Creating a roommate block (up to five) is permitted throughout the process. If you are selecting a multi-occupancy space and wish to pull in a specific roommate(s), you will need to have your group block established prior to reserving your room. We encourage you to discuss any housing arrangements for next year with your current and prospective roommates and plan accordingly before the process begins. Students should only join a roommate block if their intention is to live together for the 2027-28 Academic Year.

During the Same Area process on October 5-7, only block leaders can pull in members of a roommate block to their area of campus. Block leaders cannot pull roommates into a different area of campus than where they are currently living (i.e. a block leader who currently lives on North Campus can pull their block into North Campus buildings but cannot pull into any other area of campus during Same Area selection).

The Open Room Selection process allows students to select one or more rooms from anywhere on campus. If you are the roommate block leader, you can assign yourself and roommate block members to those rooms.

Fall Housing Selection Instructions

Instructions for the 2027-2028 Housing Selection process for rising juniors and rising seniors will be posted in September 2026.
