Updated May 5, 2026.

The room and roommate selection process is scheduled to open on Friday, May 8, 2026. To participate in room selection, your full housing fee must be paid in full before you are able to select a room. If your full housing fee has not been paid, you may not have access to room selection and your room may be assigned at a later time once payment is completed.

Please continue to check your email for any additional updates or instructions regarding the room selection process.

Deadlines

The deadline for all current applicants to complete room and roommate selection is Sunday, May 17, 2026.

  • After this deadline, rooms may be automatically assigned by our staff based on availability, application status, and housing needs.
  • Applicants who apply or are accepted after this deadline must still meet all room selection requirements before they are eligible to select their room. This includes having an accepted application along with the deposit and remaining balance paid in full.

Requirements to be eligible

To be eligible to select your own room, you must meet all of the requirements below:

  • Your application has been accepted.
  • Your deposit has been paid.
  • Your full housing fee has been paid.
  • There is at least one week between your acceptance date and your move-in date.*
  • You are not part of a specialized conference group or event.**

If you do not meet these requirements, your room may be automatically assigned for you. Please note that a room is not provided or guaranteed until your full housing fee has been paid, as stated in the housing agreement and email confirmations.

*The one-week gap allows time for you to select your room and for our team to prepare the space. If you have not selected a room within three business days of your move-in date, a room may be automatically assigned for you.

**If you are part of a specialized group or event, your housing and roommates, if applicable, may be assigned by your event organizer or by our staff.
