Room Selection

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 Spring 2022 semester.  Students with an active Spring 2022 housing assignment will get priority in the actual selection process. See the tentative timeline below:

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 Fall 2022/Spring 2023 school year must complete a Room Selection Application by 11:00 p.m., February 4, 2022. [do it right now]

The Room Selection Application is a Housing Application and does not commit you to University Housing, nor does it guarantee you a space in housing. It enters you into the room selection process and gives you the opportunity 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 22/23 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 February 4 deadline,
  • AND once accepted to a Village, you will complete your room selection with your Village on Feb. 17-18.  You will only have the opportunity to select a space in the village you are approved for.

STEP 2 – Complete Room Selection   

Room Selection time blocks will be available by Feb. 9. 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 2022-2023.

Process highlights

  • You must be able to fill the space you are planning to select with a roommate group. Example: If you are planning to select a 4 bedroom apartment in Wolf Village or Wolf Ridge, you must have a roommate group of 4. If you are selecting a double room, you must have a roommate group of 2.
  • 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 1 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 2022 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

Roommate Groups

  • 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 on-line 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.

Room Selection Tips

  • 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.
  • If you are part of a roommate group you don’t need to log into the housing portal during the selection process since your group leader will be making the selection and assigning group members to bed spaces.
  • The room selection process will only display buildings and rooms that are available.  If you don’t see a building, that indicates all available rooms have been selected.
  • Once you select a space you will have 10 minutes to complete your selection.  If you don’t finalize your selection in the 10 minute time frame the selected space will be released and may be selected by another student.  A countdown clock will appear in the red navigation bar.
  • If you are part of a roommate group; once your group leader assigns you to a space and finalizes the selection, you are also committed to housing and the terms and conditions for the 2022-2023 Housing Agreement.  
  • Review your housing selection before clicking the Finalize Selection button because once you do this, your housing selection cannot be changed and you are committed to housing and the terms and conditions of the 2022-2023 Housing Agreement.
  • On the Confirmation page, you must click the blue Finalize Selection button to complete your housing selection.   
  • Once you have completed the selection please log out of the housing portal.
