Returning Student Room Selection Process Overview

The information below is from the room selection process for the 2022-2023 academic year. This information remains relatively consistent from year to year. Check back in March 2023 for updated information. 

Room Selection Process

Returning residential undergraduate students are able preserve a space in housing for the coming academic year during the Winter and Spring quarters of the current academic year. To reserve a space, all students must complete the Residential Services Contract Terms and Conditions (commonly known as the housing contract) between March 1–March 15. General Room Selection and residential college placement will follow in April. Please see below for those details.

Important Dates for the 2022 Process 

Opens at 9am and Closes at 4pm Daily

560 Lincoln

Single suites are comprised of 4 single bedrooms sharing 1 common bathroom. To select these suites you must have a group of 4 students.

Kemper

Single suites are comprised of 6 single bedrooms sharing 2 common bathrooms. During room selection, you can choose 1/2 the suite (3 single bedrooms that share 1 bathroom) only if you have a group of 3 students.

Foster-Walker Complex

Single rooms are chosen individually. Students wishing to live near one another should discuss desired arrangements, both before and during the assignment process, in order to choose rooms near one another.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

All rising sophomores are required to live on campus. Rising sophomores who intend to live in a fraternity or sorority house as part of the residency requirement are still required to complete a housing contract. After your fraternity or sorority house assignment has been verified for the coming fall quarter, your housing contract will be noted as living in fraternity and sorority housing.

ALL GENDER HOUSING

All Gender Housing allows students, regardless of sex, gender, or gender identity, to share a room or suite. You will be able to select All Gender Housing as a preference in the room selection process.

HOUSING CANCELLATION

Rising second-year students may not cancel their housing contract due to the two-year residency requirement. Rising third-and fourth-year students may cancel their contract but should take note of the cancellation fee schedule. Students will only be released from housing for the following reasons:

• academic dismissal
• disciplinary exclusion from the University
• marriage (a copy of the marriage certificate must be filed)
• induction into military service
• graduation
• health, upon written recommendation of the University Health Service.

GET STARTED!

To get started with room selection, access the Housing Portal.

Welcome to Room Selection Week!

Here is the schedule for Room Selection. Each day the times will stay the same; the only difference will be the rooms available. Based on your priority number, you will log in at the same time on your preferred day. The person in the group with the best priority number will log in and choose spaces for the group, even if this person is not the group leader.

3rd and 4th year students who don’t choose a room during room selection will be assigned by Residential Services. Students eligible to cancel must do so in writing by April 15th, 2022 at 11:59pm.

Housing Priority Numbers

Assignment Days Schedule

NOTE: Please check this page regularly, as times may be adjusted daily.  There are six (6) assignment days, depending upon the type of room for which you are attempting an assignment. 

Room Selection will be based on a 9:00 am – 4:00 pm schedule on each Room Selection day. Once you have selected a room, or have been assigned as part of a roommate group, it is not possible to select a different room through the online room selection process.

 Room Selection Times

Also, remember that if you want to make changes to your roommate group by adding the roommates you will need the Roommate PIN. Everyone will receive their PIN emailed to them before the process begins.

Please revisit this page for questions and updates to the process. If you have any questions feel free to contact Residential Services.
