Application Process and Deadlines
It is important to know that applying to live on campus is separate from the general university application process. If you and a friend want to room together be sure to complete step 13 on the application form and we will try to accommodate your request. If you don’t list a specific person, you will be assigned a roommate based on your lifestyle preferences.
- Apply online and send the $20 housing application fee by March 1. Applications received after the deadline will be processed as time permits.
- Once the housing application is received, the Housing Office will send an email to the prospective student confirming receipt of the application and fee.
- Notification of students’ housing application status is mailed in April. If you are accepted into Student Housing, an Offer of Accommodations must be accompanied by a deposit/confirmation fee of $500. This deposit will be credited toward your Student Housing fees when you arrive in September. Failure to cancel an Offer of Accommodations before the indicated deadline on your acceptance email will result in the forfeiture of the deposit/confirmation fee.
- Students who receive an Offer of Accomodations will be given approximately 3 weeks to pay the deposit/confirmation fee.
- Room assignments are emailed out in late July informing students about their room/Chalet apt numbers, and their roommates. Further assignments are made based on cancellations.
Room Assignments
New students and a small number of students at large live in the Residence. The chalets accommodate the overflow of new students in addition to transfer students, students at large and families.
New students who meet the housing admission criteria will be placed first in the Residence and the overflow assigned to the Chalet apartments.
If the number of eligible transfer students and students at large exceeds the number of beds available, students are awarded rooms based on a lottery draw that gives everyone an equal opportunity to live on campus.
