Room Selection 2019-2020: For Current Students

ALL students currently living in University housing (including University operated Uptown East/Promenade Apts.) must participate in either the Online Housing Reservation or Cancellation process.

Guidelines and Instructions on the Room Selection Process

All students who are currently living in campus housing must visit the Housing Self-Service (via DataVU) in order to indicate to the Office of Residential Life your intentions for the 2019-2020 academic year. 

Students should indicate that they need on-campus housing by completing the On-Campus Housing Application for Fall 2019 in Housing Self-Service starting Monday, January 28, 2019.

• Students interested in participating in the apartment selection process need to complete their application by Friday, February 22, 2019, and will have lived on-campus for 4 or more semesters by the Fall 2019 semester. Please note, summer sessions do not count towards the on-campus requirement.
• The On-campus Housing Application for Fall 2019 is due Thursday, February 28, 2019 for students participating in the general room selection.

Online Room Selection will begin on Friday, March 22 and will end Thursday, March 28, 2019. Students will be able to view their room selection date and appointment time in their Housing Self-Service the week following Spring Break. 

Students who do not intend to live in campus housing for the 2019-2020 academic year (ex. transferring, studying abroad, graduation, etc.) should visit their Housing Self Service and complete a Housing Cancellation Form for Fall 2019. To receive a 100% housing deposit refund, if applicable, students need to cancel their housing through HOUSING SELF-SERVICE no later than Thursday, February 28, 2019.

PLEASE NOTE: All students with less than 6 semesters of living in campus housing before the start of the Fall 2019 academic semester are required to live in University-operated housing. Summer housing does not count towards semesters on-campus.
