2025-2026 Guide to Housing Selection
Full-time undergraduate students are guaranteed and are expected to live on-campus or commute from their permanent address. Off-campus releases are offered to a select number of eligible students.

Returning students interested in changing status for the upcoming year are expected to identify their preferred status on the Housing Status Application before February 28, 2025. This is the one time when students can freely request a change of housing status.
Students who do not complete the Housing Status Application (available from February 3 - February 28, 2025) will continue as an on-campus resident or commuter, based on their current housing status. Current off-campus students who do not complete the Housing Status Application will be assigned to on-campus resident status.
