Housing assignments are contingent upon student eligibility, completion of all University and Housing & Residence Life requirements, adherence to established deadlines, and available housing inventory.

Likewise, submitting an application, paying applicable fees, or indicating a preferred residence hall does not guarantee placement in University housing or assignment to a specific residence hall, room type, or room. Housing assignments are considered confirmed only when officially communicated by the Department of Housing & Residence Life.

Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible to maximize available housing options for Spring 2027.
