New students should begin the process of living on campus by completing the housing application for New Incoming Students.

Fall Semester/Academic Year: The Fall/Academic Year housing application is typically available in mid-April and should be completed by mid-June.
 
Spring Semester: Spring applications are typically available in mid-October and should be completed by early-January.
 
All first-year students will be assigned to one of our traditional-style residence halls as part of the First-Year Residential Experience (FYRE). First-year students may indicate a preference for either a double or triple occupancy room.
 
Entering students who will be 20 years of age by December 31 of the incoming year and those who will be 19 years of age by September 1 and have at least 24 credits are eligible for upper-division housing options.
 
Only students who will be at least 20 years of age by December 31 will have access to the room preferences and must include two unique housing preferences by clicking on the “Add Preference” button.
 
Single rooms, including private bedroom apartments, are limited, and priority goes to those with a documented disability. Please see the Special Consideration step for additional information. Approved students will be assigned to a space that meets their needs. Private-bedroom apartments are offered through the waitlist. A link to the wait list is available on our web page under Forms and Policies.
