The Office of Residence Life coordinates the housing lottery and room selection process every April to allow students the opportunity to determine their housing assignment for the following academic year. Students are encouraged to carefully read and familiarize themselves with the processes, policies and housing options detailed in the online brochure.
New students are matched after the last orientation session in July based upon information provided in the roommate matching form.
