New Student Housing Information

The Sign-Up Process

All new students are given the opportunity to participate in housing sign-ups, based on the date deposits were received in admissions and also the completion of the online housing application. First-year students are encouraged to select their desired space by participating in an online room selection phase; however, assignment to a specific hall, or roommate, is not always possible.Roommate requests are honored when the space is available and if requests are mutual.

Important Notes

  • Housing and Residence Education will continue to consolidate housing spaces, meaning Housing and Residence Education may move students or assign new roommates to best utilize housing spaces.

*Due to growing enrollment, students are not able to purchase private rooms prior to the add/drop date. We are only offering private rooms to students who have confirmed needs as determined by our NOEL Center for Disability Resources that necessitates a private room.
