Living on Campus
Welcome to Residence Life & Housing!
We're here to help. As we navigate creating a healthy and safe on-campus home for your student, we welcome your questions and your partnership.
Just as we work with you, we partner with students to create welcoming, vibrant, and inclusive residence hall communities. Students do more than simply live in our halls; they take the opportunity to learn and engage as they develop as citizens and leaders.
What's coming up or Happening Now
Processes in Residence Life & Housing that are coming soon or are open now
The housing application for newly admitted first year students for Fall 2024 is open! The application can be found at the My Housing Portal and students are encouraged to apply by the priority deadline on May 31, 2024 at 5 p.m. While the application will remain open after May 31, students will not be able to indicate room type interests, request roommates, or apply to an LLC.
Eligible students seeking a housing exemption to live off campus must complete a First Year Exemption Request in the My Housing Portal by May 31 instead of a housing application.
For more information, visit the application guide.
The application for next year's returning student housing closed on February 29 at 5pm. Students who applied by the deadline will receive emails in March regarding whether or not they are guaranteed housing and more information about next steps in the assignment process. We are not accepting additional applications at this time. We will open a late, non-guaranteed application later in the spring or early summer for eligible students who missed the deadline to apply, but our ability to offer housing will depend on space availability. Check back with our office or visit the housing portal later in the semester for updates.
