Incoming Undergraduates
Welcome to Northwestern! We are excited to welcome you to campus in September.
Here are a few important steps to be aware of:
- Submit your housing deposit to gain access to the housing contract
- The timing of your housing deposit does not provide an advantage for receiving your top preferences, but you must submit your housing deposit to gain access to the contract and by June 1
- Between March 1 and June 1, go to the housing portal to submit your housing preferences and contract, along with any roommate and housing accommodation requests.
- After submitting your preferences, you may make changes by emailing housing@northwestern.edu by June 1
What can you do now?
Students have so much to look forward to before arriving on campus, especially the residential experience. While perusing these pages, keep in mind that there is no rush to make decisions. Look things over. Come back to them in a few days.
