The Department of Housing & Residential Education is anticipating a high demand for housing for the Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 academic year. We have a limited amount of spaces for returning students for the next academic year on campus. Housing Assignments will be by the resident’s Priority Group and Tuition Deposit Date. NOT by Application date.
- Priority groups are based on the student’s year of entry.
- Within each priority group housing assignments will be determined by the student’s tuition deposit date to the university.
- If they are part of a roommate group, the roommate’s year of entry and tuition deposit date will also be a consideration.
| 1st Priority Group | Spring residential students who started during Summer and Fall 2024 or Spring 2025 as a first-year student. |
| 2nd Priority Group | Spring residential students who started during 2023 or Spring 2024 and Transfer residential students who started during 2024 or 2025. |
| 3rd Priority Group | Spring residential students who started during 2022. |
| 4th Priority Group | Spring residential students who started during 2021. |
| 5th Priority Group* | Spring residential Graduate students and 2nd bachelor degree students. |
*We anticipate students in the 5th priority group will be waitlisted. The waitlist number for Graduate students and 2nd Bachelor degree students will be determined by their acceptance date as a tuition deposit is not required for these students.
