Current Students

Returning students may apply for on-campus housing through the room selection process.

We are so glad to have you on campus! Wonder why you should return to University Housing?  Here are the top 5 reasons:

5.  Access – Living on campus provides residents access to resources that are just not available or as accessible as they are off-campus.

4.  Community – We value community and strive to provide opportunities to help residents to grow their communities.

3.  Connection – Whether it is participating in a Village, connecting with our staff for PackChats, going to events in your community, or living in a space with friends, living on-campus is rooted in connection with others.

2.  Facilities – Where else can you find the variety in housing options that we have available?  Our facilities team responds to work orders quickly and in a manner that respects you and your property.  

1.  YOU! You matter to us and are our top priority. We will always keep our students first and we are always looking for ways to improve the residential experience.

Learn more about our processes for selecting and changing housing assignments below.

Room Selection Process

Room Selection occurs each spring semester and allows current residents/students the opportunity to return to University Housing for the following school year. A new application must be completed each year. Space is limited due to the first-year live-on requirement, so please read carefully!

To be eligible for Room Selection, you must be a currently enrolled student for the upcoming spring semester. Students with an active upcoming spring housing assignment will get priority in the actual selection process.

Step 1 – Apply to participate in Room Selection

All current students who want to live in on-campus housing (including Living and Learning Villages) for the upcoming school year must complete a Room Selection Application by the application deadline.

The Room Selection Application is a housing application that does not commit you to University Housing nor guarantees you a space in housing. It enters you into the room selection process and allows you to participate in Step 2 of the selection process. You are committed to housing once you select a space or are assigned a space as an individual or as part of a roommate group.

Living and Learning Villages

  • The village application is part of the Room Selection Application.
  • Returning students who are interested in returning to or joining a new village next year must complete the Room Selection Application by the application deadline.
  • Indicate your village interest on the application and answer the two village interest application questions.
  • Once accepted to a village, you will complete your Room Selection with your village in the weeks following. You will only have the opportunity to select a space in the village for which you are approved.
  • Learn more about our Living and Learning Village options.

Step 2: Complete Room Selection

Room Selection time blocks will be sent to you in the weeks before the selection process. Look for an email from University Housing for more details.

Your Room Selection time block indicates when you or your roommate group will be able to access the housing selection pages for an opportunity to select housing for the upcoming academic year.

  • You must be able to fill the space you plan to select with a roommate group. For example, if you plan to select a 4-bedroom apartment in Wolf Village or Wolf Ridge, you must have a roommate group of four. If you are selecting a double room, you must have a roommate group of two.
  • A limited number of singles will be available in the Room Selection process.
  • We have added more apartments to your Room Selection options. There will be a limited number of one-bedroom, double occupancy apartments available in ES King Village for undergraduate returning students.
  • Priority in Room Selection will go to students with an active spring 2025 housing assignment.
  • Students without roommates and off-campus students will have the opportunity to select on-campus housing during Option 4, the “open selection” portion of the Room Selection process.
  • The 4-bedroom apartments in Wolf Ridge and Wolf Village are allotted to undergraduate students.
  • The 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments in Wolf Ridge are allotted to graduate students.
  • If you are part of a roommate group, your designated group leader will be the one to select and assign each roommate to bed spaces in the selected location.
  • If you are part of a roommate group but are not the group leader, you will not need to do anything during the online selection process. Once you agree to be a part of a roommate group, you are giving the group leader the ability to select housing for everyone in the roommate group.
  • Once a group leader selects housing, you are officially committed to campus housing for the next academic year.
  • A roommate group in an earlier option can pull in an off-campus student as long as the off-campus student has a completed Room Selection application.

Please look for the Helpful Hint boxes throughout the Room Selection process for tips on navigating each step.
We recommend that roommate groups make the person in the group with the best time block the group leader. This is the person who will make the selection for the group.
