Division of Student Life

Returning Student Housing

Returning student housing is split into two neighborhoods. Sophomore neighborhoods support sophomores in finding their academic home as well as continued community on campus. Juniors and seniors who are offered housing live in upper-division neighborhoods, which focus on supporting existing community and providing resources for success in the junior and senior year. Depending on housing demand and enrollment, some buildings may contain sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

Receive Assignment

On April 28, returning students will receive their 2023-24 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 12 to confirm their assignment. Students will be asked to do the following to confirm their assignment:

  • Sign a housing contract

If an upper-divison student does not sign their contract by May 12 they will be removed from academic year housing and will receive an email confirming their cancelled assignment.
