Hall and floor preferences listed on the application are requests only and are not to be understood as contractual stipulations. Every effort will be made to accommodate your preferences when making room assignments. However, because application are processed based on the date in which they are received, we may not be able to meet certain requests.
• You will be asked to agree to terms of the contract. Students less than 18 years of age: The online application will not permit students under 18 to agree to terms and conditions of the contract.Rather than waiting until you are 18, you may print the form off the web, have a parent or guardian sign the form along with your signature, and submit that to our office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get to choose my own room?
When creating a house application, you can choose preferences and rank them. You can also name a roommate if you know with whom you'd like to be placed. Our system will take your requests into consideration when creating a room assignment for you. However, you aren't guaranteed any specific room or roommate.

Is there an application deadline?
To be guaranteed housing, you must submit your completed application and prepayment must be received by August 1, 2013. The online application for fall will close on August 21, 2013. If you wish to apply for fall semester after that time, you must do so in person in the Residential Life Office.

What do I do if I don't know my desired roommate's student ID number?
You can enter a student's name at the time you create the reservation, but you need to supply the roommate's student ID at some point before the room assignments are made. You can use the 'Change' feature within the online application to change your reservation and provide additional information at a later time.
