Begin your journey as a Pioneer in University Housing and Residence Life!

The Housing Application process is available to all students interested in living on-campus. Whether you are already living on-campus, interested in joining as a current student, or coming in as a new freshman or transfer, you are welcome to apply! 

Timeline

When to Apply?

All interested students have the opportunity to apply during the Priority Application Process or the General Application process. The Priority Application is the best option for students who want the widest selection of rooms and the ability to form a Roommate Group. During this process, students can:

• Access the highest number of available room options
• Create or join a Roommate Group and select rooms together
• Participate in a structured room selection process to guarantee first choices of rooms.

During the Priority Application, the room assignment times will not be on a first-come-first-serve basis but instead randomly generated by our database, however, in an attempt to best manage the process in terms of room selection consolidation, priority may be assigned to those with larger roommate groups. Aside from the consolidation piece, all those who complete their contract during the Priority Application Process will have equal chances when it comes to room selection times regardless of when the application was submitted as long as it’s within the application timeframe.

If living with specific friends or having the most room options is important to you, the Priority Application is strongly recommended.

Communities
