Office of Residence Life / Returning Student Room Selection / Timeline and Eligibility

Timeline and Eligibility

The following students are eligible for 2026-2027 housing:

  • Housing is available for matriculating undergraduate students.
  • Current first-year, sophomore, and junior students living on-campus
  • Students on approved study abroad programs but will return for the Fall semester.
  • Student on leave but already approved to return to campus for the Fall semester.
  • Undergraduate students who have had less than 8 semesters of housing eligibility.

Eligible students who submit a completed housing contract by February 26 are guaranteed a space in campus housing for AY2026-2027. Completing the contract is required to participate in the housing selection application process.

Off-campus students requesting to live on campus should email the Assistant Director of Residence Life (Melissa Golowski) with their request prior to February 20th to ensure you have enough time to complete your contract.

Those who would be considered fifth-year seniors (students who have already had 8 semesters of housing eligibility) should complete the Fifth-Year Senior Housing Request Form before obtaining access to the housing contract. Housing is not guaranteed for students with over 8 semesters of housing eligibility; students in this group will be assigned spaces after returning and new students are assigned.
