Online Campus Housing Selection for Returning Students

Breadcrumb

Understanding Housing Selection

Housing Selection is the process by which students pick their room for the following academic year. A series of information sessions are held each spring to familiarize returning students with the process. Incoming first-year and transfer students can find more information about housing selection on the Admitted Students page. 

Participating in Online Housing Selection

Students may access their housing form via the Housing Portal. Students are strongly encouraged to attend one of the advertised spring housing selection informational sessions. 

Rooms are available in Ball, Harris, Johnson, Turner, and Wanberg residence halls. Students may not participate in Housing Selection if they have a business hold. All outstanding balances must be cleared prior to Spring Break or early April to participate in Online Housing Selection. The student must obtain a release from the Business Office once the hold has been cleared. Please note that resolved holds may take up to 24 hours to be reflected on your account.
