Important Tips for New Students

• Spaces are limited and fill up quickly, we encourage all students to apply early.
• Housing placement is prioritized to students who complete an application by the March 20 priority date for the Fall 2026 – Spring 2027 housing application. 
• There are fewer single rooms than double rooms. We cannot guarantee single rooms for everyone who makes the request. The earlier you complete your housing application, the better your chances will be to get your preferred or room type.
• The housing application covers only the term you apply for, as an example Fall 2026 – Spring 2027 is an academic year application for both semesters. Summer is a separate application. You are responsible for the term of the application.
• Students living in residence halls are required to participate in the Campus Meal Plan Program. For information, please visit our Dining Services page.
• If you plan to request housing accommodations/modifications due to a disability, you must apply with Student Accessibility Services (SAS). You must apply with SAS for a housing modification or accommodations by May 1 for Summer, June 1 for Fall and November 1 for Spring.
• The deadline for first time in college students to request a roommate is May 1. Requests are completed through the Roommate Request page of the Fall 2026 – Spring 2027 housing application.
• Roommate requests take priority over room type preferences (i.e. single room). Roommate matching is not guaranteed; however, we will make every attempt to match roommates that are mutually requested by May 1. The date your housing application is completed, and Orientation Reservation, is a consideration when matching roommates.
• Returning students who participate in the housing contract renewal process may preference roommates and suitemates only during renewal process.
• Roommate groups may be groups of 2, 3 or 4 students.
