Transfer and Exchange Student Housing Application

The Housing Application will ask for some demographic information for our records, life-habit information for roommate matching, your building preferences and roommate preference (if you have one), and it also includes the completion of the Housing Agreement.

Housing Applications for Transfer and Exchange students is available on November 1 on MyHousing. Students submitting their enrollment deposit after November 1 will typically have access to MyHousing and the Housing Application within two business days.

Students should complete their applications no later than April 1.  Housing Applications will remain open and available after this date.  However, our housing assignment process begins in April when there is greater availability and variety of space across our residential buildings. Transfer and Exchange students who submit their Housing Assignment prior to April 1 will participate in New Student Housing Selection taking place in April, where they will be able to select a housing assignment for the upcoming Fall/Spring academic year.  Information about New Student Housing Selection is available on our website and will be sent to students via email in March.

Once you submit your Housing Application, you will be unable to make updates to the information and preferences selected in your application.  In order to update your application, please email us and we will assist with making the requested changes.  Please note that housing preferences are only used if a student is assigned by our office and do not affect the spaces available to students during Housing Selection. 

Transfer and Exchange students that submit their housing application prior to April 1st will participate in New Student Housing selection taking place in April.  During selection, students will have the opportunity to browse available spaces on campus and select their room for the upcoming academic year.  

Transfer and exchange students that submit their housing application after April 1st will be assigned by our office based on the student's priority (enrollment deposit date), building preference selections on the Housing Application, the student's roommate group (if the student has created a roommate group), and the space available at the time of assignment..  These assignments are typically communicated to students in June and on a rolling basis thereafter.

Please remember that specific building, room type, bathroom type, and roommate preferences cannot be guaranteed.  Residential Living and Learning will use preference selections to assign each student to a room that most closely fits their preferences.  However, we have a limited supply of space in each building, room type, and bathroom type.  Therefore, it is not possible to provide every student with an assignment that exactly matches their preference selections.

In addition to their housing application, students may also submit a Request for Housing Accommodation or Request for Animal-in-Residence to live with their Pet, Emotional Support Animal or Service Animal. Students desiring to live off-campus may submit a Request for Residency Exemption in lieu of their housing application.
