Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Housing Selection

What is Housing Selection?
Once a new applicant for campus housing has completed his or her housing application and has paid the $500.00 deposit the next step is to complete housing selection. The housing assignment is the actual building and room the student will live in.

How does continuing Student Housing Selection Work?
Continuing students currently living in campus housing may select their housing assignment for the next school year by participating in the General Room Selection process every April. Students will have the opportunity to remain in their current housing assignment or select a new space on campus.

Definitions
Room Renewal – Select to stay within your current housing space for the next academic year

Building Renewal – Select to stay within your current building, but choose a new space for the next academic year

General Room Selection (GRS) – Select to move to another housing space on campus for the next academic year
