Returner Process and Room Selection

Step 1: Complete the Housing and Meal Plan Contract.

Body

The 2025-2026 contract will be open February 10 through March 9, 2025 for current students required to live on campus. Based on the current number of students with a Fall 2025 housing requirement, we are expecting no housing to be available for students who do not have a housing requirement. Students without a housing requirement are encouraged to consider our Apartment Communities or look for off-campus housing for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Step 2: Participate in Room Selection

Body

Once you have submitted your housing contract, you will have the opportunity to select your room on campus. If you created a roommate group in your housing contract, you will select a space with those individuals. If not, you'll select a space as an individual. Please view the Room Selection tab below for approximate dates and more details. 

Step 3: All Set!

Body

Sit back and relax! You've completed the room selection process. If you are seeking a room change or bed swap, please note that we are unable to process those requests until students return to campus in August. Please review our Room Changes page and the accordion at the bottom of this page for more information. Enjoy your summer!

Room Selection Details

Body

Room selection is divided up into events based on the size of roommate groups. Here is a tentative schedule for room selection: 

  • March 20-21: Patrick Leahy Honors College Residence Halls Housing Selection (all groups)
  • March 24-28: Returners with Roommate Requests
  • March 31-April 4: Individual Room Selection  
     

You will be randomly assigned a time slot within your room selection event. Shortly before your room selection event, we'll email you information with complete details on how and when to select your room.

If you are in a roommate group, you will all have the same time slot. Any person in the group can select a space on behalf of the group. 

Preferencing a Roommate

Body

Please keep in mind:

  • You cannot preference roommate(s) until they have opened and begun to edit their contract.
  • Returning students can create roommate groups of two or three individuals.
  • Roommate pairs may choose double or triple rooms. If a roommate pair is placed in a triple room, the third space will be available for another student.

Instructions to preference a roommate: 

  • On your housing and meal plan contract, enter the NetID  (e.g. jsmith)  of the person you wish to room with.
  • If you requested gender-inclusive housing, your roommate preference must have also chosen gender-inclusive housing (you can go back and edit that page until the contract closes).
  • Your intended roommate(s) must also preference you the same way.
  • ​Roommate preferences must be mutual and cannot be added after the contract closes.
