We do not keep a waiting list for specific buildings or room types. However, beginning April 1 (or earlier, depending on demand), the housing contract sign-up process transitions to a campus-wide waitlist system. Spaces are offered as they become available until move-ins.
In an effort to offer spaces in a timely manner to those on the waitlist, offer emails will be sent to the email address you provide to Housing Services on the waitlist form. You will be given 24 hours to complete the online contract process once an email is received.
On-campus rent is billed at a per-semester rate. In Single Student Housing, all utilities are included in the cost of rent. Housing and meal plan (if required) charges are applied to your University account along with tuition and fees. Review our Housing Rates and Dates page for more information.

You can change your room and/or building booking through our online room change process, after the room selection process. You will be able to check the real-time room availability 24/7. If there is a space you want you will log into the housing portal and make the change. It’s that easy!
During room selection, you will be able to view the name, email address, age, and answers to the lifestyle questions asked during the sign up process, of potential roommate(s) and they can view yours. If you have a friend(s) you’d like to room with, sign up at the same time and choose the same building. The date and time you are able to select your room is based on the date you complete the sign up process. Once room selection takes place you will be able to view roommates by logging into the housing portal and clicking the “View Roommate(s) Info” button. Roommate(s) can change depending on room changes and cancellations.
The housing deposit ($200) and contract fee ($75) are paid during the sign-up process. Once you begin, fill out your personal information and sign your contract, you will be prompted to pay your housing deposit and contract fee before you can complete the sign-up process.
If you submit the online cancellation petition by April 15, 2024, you will receive a refund of the $200 security/reservation fee. If you cancel between April 16 and June 15, your deposit is forfeited but you are released from your contract. After June 15, you must meet one of the contract termination conditions to be released from your contract.
Your housing contract begins on Saturday, August 24, 2024. However, if you are participating in Connections or need to arrive earlier for any other reason you may move in beginning Saturday, August 17, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. at no extra charge. This is the earliest that we are able to let you move in so please plan accordingly.
