Room Assignments
Where space permits, upper-class students returning to University residence halls are given preference for room assignments if applications are submitted during the time designated in the spring by the Housing and Residence Life Office.
After the designated time, requests for rooms
by upper-class students will be accepted in the order they are received and considered along with those of new students.
Every attempt will be made to permit students to room with those whom they prefer. Students wishing to room
together by mutual agreement should turn in their applications and deposits together by the end of December. When
requests cannot be met because of limitations, students will be assigned to another space if available.
Three properly completed items must be completed and returned to the Housing and Residence Life Office before the application for residence hall accommodations can be processed:
- A completed On-Campus Housing Application
- An On-Campus Housing and Meal Plan Contract
- $75.00 Reservation Deposit (applied to spring semester room fees)
A student desiring a single room (only one occupant) must indicate this desire on the housing application. There is an additional charge for a single room beyond the cost of a double room. Only 20 single rooms are available, and preference is given to students with residence hall seniority and special needs.
Students will be notified of their residence hall assignment before summer orientation. Specially designed rooms for students with disabilities are available in certain halls. Please be sure to note this on your application.
Applications from new students are received as early as mid-September. Acknowledgment of receipt of an application and reservation deposit will be made by the Housing and Residence Life Office as soon as possible after they are received.
Since room assignments are based on the date all properly completed items are received, it is to the student's advantage to return the application and deposit as soon as possible. Since the University may have more applicants than it has regular spaces available, late applicants may be assigned to a limited number of temporary housing accommodations until regular accommodations become available. A returned copy of your contract is an indication that you will be assigned a space.
Specific room assignments are made prior to freshman orientation in mid-June. The Housing and Residence Life Office also maintains up-to-date off-campus housing lists.
