Housing application opens at 8 a.m. Students are assigned time slots for room selection based on earned credits (not first come, first served).
Once your time slot has arrived, return to your Housing Application, and you'll see more pages available. You can filter by building and room type and pick the exact spot you want to live in from the available rooms.
There is no time limit on when you can make your selection. However, it's important to know that room availability may decrease as more students make their choices. So, while there's no rush, selecting your room earlier ensures a wider range of options.
Students should coordinate with their roommate group to determine who has the earliest timeslot. This way, the group leader can select the room that best suits the group's preferences.
