Application for Fall 2026
If you have already submitted your Fall 2026 housing application
Thank you for your interest in on-campus housing.
You have been placed on the housing waitlist. Students on the waitlist will be considered for placement based on their housing preferences as space becomes available.
Housing assignments are made as cancellations occur and available spaces are identified. While we cannot guarantee a housing assignment, we will continue to review the waitlist and make placements throughout the summer as openings become available.
If we are able to offer you a housing assignment, the Office of Housing will contact you directly.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Office of Housing.
Best regards,
Department of Housing
