Apply for Housing
The Residence Life Office sends housing information 1-2 weeks after you've been admitted, beginning in November. Freshmen and sophomore students who do not meet exemption requirements are required to live in University residence halls. It is important for all accepted students to apply for housing early. The earlier you complete your contract and pay the housing deposit, the more likely you are to obtain your hall preferences. The complete housing application process is online. Contact Residence Life if you have questions.
