Current Residents
We recognize students want to live on campus multiple years and will do all we can to accomodate people. Please keep in mind there is a limited number of bed spaces available for sophomores and above students.
Current residents who are interested in living on campus for the 2023-2024 academic year will be required to complete the initial online contract process including payment of the $75 non-refundable contract fee March 27-29. Residents who choose to retain their same space will randomly be assigned a selection time on April 3. All others will receive a randomly generated selection date and time to choose their building and bed space.
If a bed space is not selected during the room selection process, your housing contract will be cancelled.
