Basic Steps of the Room Selection Process

Step 1: Complete online housing intent form and residency agreement through the new Agora Portal on posted dates.

Please note that declaring your intent is required, but it is not enough to guarantee your housing assignment. In order to secure a housing assignment for the Fall semester, you must register for final selection or select a room as part of a group. If you declare your intent and do not complete either of those processes, your housing will be forfeited.

Step 2: If interested in Special Interest Housing or a medical placement, complete the appropriate application, or submit an appeal for a medical placement.

Step 3: Identify a housing style preference, get your group together, and pick a group leader. Each housing style has different sized rooms. In order to register for a specific style, you must have a complete group.

Step 4: Register on Agora on the correct date and time for the accommodation.

Step 5: If your group is selected, you will receive a time to select a room online. Once you pick a room, you have completed the process.

Step 6: If your group is not selected for a specific style of room, return to Step 3 and follow the process through again for another room style.

Notice

In order to guarantee for yourself a space on campus, you must register and select a room as part of a group, or register for final selection (see “Final Selection Information” in the Calendar of Events). Any eligible student who does not participate in the Room Selection Process or complete a Leave of Absence form will be withdrawn from on-campus housing and could forfeit all future claims to living on campus.

If an eligible student has not completed the necessary steps in the Room Selection Process, they are no longer guaranteed housing and must complete an appeal for housing via Agora. These students will receive housing on a space-available basis.

Students who are administratively placed will be assigned to an accommodation during the month of August. These assignments are not subject to review or change. Medical and extreme personal circumstances will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Office of Residential Life.

Incoming Freshmen

If you are an incoming freshman, your housing assignments will be available online during the first week in August.
