Housing Assignment Process

Residence hall room assignments are made based upon your roommate preferences, residence hall preference and date of submission of your housing contract. As we complete housing assignments, every effort is made to match students with roommates who share similar preferences and habits. As residence halls are assigned, one factor that is considered is the date you submit your Contract for University Housing. Students who submit their housing contract requests earlier are more likely to be assigned to their desired residence halls. Students receive their housing and roommate assignments during the middle of July.

Priority in the hall assignment process is given to students who submit a Contract for University Housing and Housing Deposit by Dec.15.
