Housing Assignments

New students who complete the enrollment deposit and submit the Housing Application by the Priority Deadline of April 1 are eligible to participate in Housing Selection for New Students.  Students can assign themselves and their preferred roommate(s) to a room, suite or apartment for the upcoming academic year between the options available to them.

In order to participate in Housing Selection for Continuing Students, the Housing Application must be submitted by the Priority Deadline of March 1.

Eligibility to participate in Housing Selection for the upcoming academic year will be based on Stetson's Three-Year Residency Requirement.   

• Students required to live on campus under Stetson's Three-Year Residency Requirement that submit the Housing Application by the Priority Deadline will be automatically entered into the Housing Selection for Continuing Students taking place in March.
  
  
• Students who have satisfied the Three-Year Residency Requirement and are no longer required to live on campus and who submit the Housing Application by the Priority Deadline will be placed on a Housing Selection Waitlist in the order that their Housing Application is received. There are a limited number of Housing Selection Appointments, so we must limit the number of students participating.  As appointment slots become available, students on the waitlist will be notified that they and all students within their roommate group will be eligible to participate in Housing Selection for Continuing Students taking place in March.

If an organization does not have enough members to fill all available spaces, they may add Friends of the Sorority/Fraternity to their house roster and these students will also be assigned prior to Housing Selection.  Connect with your Sorority and Fraternity President to request an assignment to your organization's house for the upcoming year!

Residential Learning Program (RLP) Members

Residential Living and Learning hosts several Residential Learning Programs on campus designed to engage continuing students in an environment where living, learning, and values meet.  The RLPs bring together students with shared interests and purpose working together to achieve program-specific goals and to develop themselves personally through shared experiences, engagement with students, faculty, and staff, and building connections on campus and with the community at large. 

Students accepted into the RLPs will be provided housing assignments in specific residential houses on campus prior to the Housing Selection process in March. Applications for these Residential Learning Programs can be found on students' Housing Central Home Page. Learn more about the

• Requests for Housing Accommodation approved by the ASC by March 1 will be provided with a housing assignment by Residential Living and Learning that meets their specified needs prior to the Housing Selection taking place in March. These students will not participate in Selection.

Students admitted to Stetson University who will begin their attendance in the Spring term, will be manually assigned by Residential Living & Learning.  Assignments will be based on the Housing Preferences selected by the student when completing the Housing Application and on the availability of space in our residential facilities.  The number of spaces available in each residential building and room type is more limited in the Spring term, as the majority of our campus housing is occupied by residents who began their residency during the Fall semester. As such, housing preference selections and requests for specific roommates cannot be guaranteed. However, spaces become available all throughout our residential facilities in the Spring term as our Fall residents graduate, participate in a Spring semester abroad, or request a room relocation prior to the start of the Spring term.  We do our best to assign all students to housing that most closely matches their preferences and utilize the roommate matching questionnaire to identify current campus residents that would be a good fit for our new Spring residents. 

Students attending Stetson University for the Summer term(s) will be manually assigned by Residential Living & Learning.  Summer housing is hosted in one or more of our residential apartment complexes; Stetson Cove, Stetson Oaks, Stetson Palms, and/or University Village Apartments.  Living in an apartment-style setting provides students with all the amenities they will need during the summer months, including a full kitchen to cook meals as Student Meal Plans are not active during the summer break period.  While completing the Summer Housing Application, students may request a specific roommate(s)/apartment-mates.  Housing Assignments for Summer are based on the availability of space, so requests for specific roommates or apartment complexes cannot be guaranteed.
