Student Housing is now accepting housing applications for current undergraduate and graduate students who want to live on campus during the 2024-25 academic year. The continuing student housing sign-up deadline is March 1 at 11:59 p.m. Please note that submitting a housing application confirms the student will receive a lottery room selection time but does not guarantee a bed space. The only exception is for rising second-year students (Class of 2027) because they are part of the two-year housing guarantee. It's strongly encouraged that all continuing students visit the Continuing Students web page as well as the Contracts and Documents web page to view the housing contracts associated with the application. You can email Student Housing if you have any specific questions.
