Students who currently live on campus are usually sent information in February regarding the room selection process for the following academic year. Students can guarantee the room of their choice by completing the Housing and Dining Contract online in MyHousing. In March, returning students will be able to select their own room from available spaces through MyHousing. Students may sign up for their same room or a different room.*

To be eligible for “Priority Room Selection”, you must complete a Housing and Dining Contract through MyHousing. Campus housing returning students are not required to pay the contract fee.
