Students with new contracts are assigned in a sequence determined by the date that the signed Contract Form with the advance payment is received. An early contract is consider October through December. Over half of the contracts from new freshmen are received by February 1st. You are urged to make your housing decision promptly to make it more likely to receive any assignment preference. New students are assigned to spaces available after continuing residents reassign.
Some halls have limited spaces for freshmen due to the number of current students who reassign.
When possible, we attempt to match roommates in the same class and college. However, you can request assignment with a friend, if you prefer. Do not wait to return your contract form to determine if a friend will be your roommate preference. You can add or change roommate preferences until May 1 without changing the date we initially received your contract. All available double rooms are assigned first in preference areas, then triples .
