Returning Student Housing Selection

General Information

In order to select housing, students MUST complete ALL the steps below:

Step 1: Be certain your student account is paid and does not have a hold (balance greater than $300).

Step 2:  Complete your housing application in the Housing Portal by Monday, May 2nd at 12:00pm. 

Step 3: Complete advance registration online for your 2022-2023 courses

Housing Selection is a two-part process. Once Part 1 and all other steps above are complete, you will be assigned a lottery number and timeslot which will allow you to complete Part 2 during your designated date and time.

Part 1 - Housing Applications: Submit your housing application in the Housing Portal (available April 4th and due by May 2nd at 12:00pm). This will allow for a computer-generated lottery number to be assigned to each student who has submitted an application. Lottery numbers will be sent via email after the application deadline has passed. 

Part 2 - Room Selection: Pick your room. Based on your lottery number and desired room type (quad, triple, double, single) you will be assigned a timeslot that allows you to view available rooms and select the exact room that you will live in next year. If you are picking a single you will select for yourself. If you are picking a quad, triple, or double then one roommate with the best lottery number will select the room for all roommates (make sure that a roommate group is formed in the Housing Portal before the time of room selection).

Lottery Numbers: ​

  • Rising Seniors: 2000-2999
  • Rising Juniors: 3000-3999
  • Rising Sophomores: 4000-4999

*Only students who will be on campus for all three terms of the 22-23 academic year will receive the above lottery numbers, students who will be off campus for one or more terms will receive a lottery number in the 5000 range

  • Rising Seniors Off Campus: 5000-5300
