Receive Assignment
On April 16, returning students will receive their 2024-25 housing assignment via email.
On-campus housing assignments will be made by Res Life staff (not self-selected by students). They will be based on students’ class year, accommodation status, and their preferences listed in their Room Registration application. Housing assignments are based upon expected available inventory. If a student does not receive a housing assignment, they will receive information about placing themselves on the waitlist and the timeline for receiving a potential assignment.
Assignments & Waitlist Information
Accept Housing
Students must log back into the Housing Portal by May 1 to confirm their assignment. Students will be asked to do the following to confirm their assignment:

If an upper-divison student does not sign their contract by May 1 they will be removed from academic year housing and will receive an email confirming their cancelled assignment.
