Once the deposit is successfully received and confirmed, Residence Life & Housing will send an email notifying the student that their Housing Application is live and available in their Housing Self-Service portal, along with instructions for next steps.

Before participating in General Housing Selection, students must complete the Housing Application, which includes three required components bundled into one streamlined process for ease and efficiency.

What’s Included in the Housing Application

By submitting the application in Housing Self-Service, students will complete:

• Housing Application Form
  • Submitting the Housing Application officially requests campus housing for the upcoming year as well as share which housing selection process students are interested in going through.
    • It is important to note interest in a Specialty Housing Process in your application (if applicable), as this will determine which housing selection process you will be eligible for, so please make sure to answer the question carefully!
    • General Housing Selection & Pre-Selection Placement Processes require submission of ALL housing selection materials by the deadline of Monday, March 9, 2026 at 5:00pm for eligibility. This applies to everyone in your group.
• Housing Contract
  • Once you complete your housing application and electronically sign the housing contract, you enter into a binding agreement for the 2026–2027 academic year. You are financially responsible for all housing-related costs for the year. This contract functions similarly to a landlord/tenant lease, where students cannot simply move off campus after signing.
• Roommate Questionnaire
  • The questionnaire gathers information about:
    • Living habits and daily routines
    • Sleep schedules and cleanliness preferences
    • Social environment and lifestyle
    • Conflict management and communication styles, including how students handle disagreements and navigate shared living spaces
  • It is important to complete the questionnaire thoughtfully and honestly. Accurate responses help Residence Life & Housing match roommates with compatible lifestyles and expectations, which can reduce conflicts and support a positive residential experience.
  • Taking the time to answer authentically can make a meaningful difference in your housing experience.

All three components are completed in one place to make the process faster, simpler, and more organized.

We are excited to share details about the Continued Occupancy (CO) process for the 2026–2027 academic year. This pre-placement process allows eligible rising seniors to retain their current apartment or suite and secure housing ahead of general selection process.

Continued Occupancy is available to rising seniors currently living in:

• Bayside
  • 2-6 person apartments
• NCRH Apartments AND Suites
  • 3-6 person apartments
  • 4-10 person suites

Ineligible communities: Cedar, Maple, Willow, Stonewall, Bayside/NCRH Single Efficiency Apartments

Eligibility & Process Overview

• Only full apartments/suites are eligible
• Individuals may pull in one roommate into their direct room, as long as they are also a rising senior and the apartment/suite will then be at full capacity
• Rising seniors who have or will be paying their housing deposit, submitting their housing application, and signing the 2026-2027 Housing Contract by March 9, 2026 at 11:59pm EST will be eligible.
• Cannot be combined with another pre-selection placement process

Required Step: Hawk Link Application

Students interested in Continued Occupancy must complete a secondary Hawk Link form connected to the housing application to indicate interest in this process.

Hawk Link form deadline: Monday, March 9, 2026 at 11:59pm EST

If you already know who you would like to live with, you will be required to:

• List all intended roommates’ full names
• Indicate who will live in which specific room(s) within the apartment or suite

This information is necessary for us to confirm eligibility and place groups accurately.

Placement Timeline

Eligible Continued Occupancy groups will be reviewed, notified of approval/denial status, and placed by March 26th.

If any individual within a roommate group does not meet this deadline of March 9, 2026 at 11:59pm for ANY materials, the full group will be ineligible to move forward in both general housing selection and this pre-placement processes.

We are exploring a new Senior/Junior-focused housing pilot in Almeida for the 2026–2027 academic year, with priority given to rising seniors. We are currently gauging interest to determine demand and feasibility as part of a pre-placement process.

This proposed model is designed to offer an apartment-style experience that feels similar to off-campus living, without the hassle of landlords, leases, utilities, or private rental responsibilities. The goal is to provide upperclassmen, especially seniors, with a more independent living experience that supports the transition to life after college while remaining in university-managed housing.

Living in �������츣��һ�� housing offers a predictable, all-inclusive cost structure. Housing, utilities, internet, safety services, maintenance, campus facilities, and community-building opportunities are built into one consistent rate. 

Almeida Senior/Junior Housing Model

• Quad apartments would become 3-person apartments
  • The larger double remains a double room
  • The smaller double would be reclassified as a single
• Triple apartments would become 2-person apartments

Rising Seniors placed through this model would be eligible for a complimentary residential parking with the understanding they remain in Almeida for the full academic year

Rising seniors will be prioritized in placements

Rising seniors and rising juniors who have or do pay their housing deposit, submit their housing application, and sign the 2026-2027 Housing Contract by March 9, 2026 at 11:59pm EST will be eligible.

Required Step: Hawk Link Application

Rising seniors and rising juniors interested in this Almeida pilot must complete a secondary HawkLink form tied to the housing application to indicate interest.

HawkLink form deadline: March 9th, 2026 at 11:59pm EST

If you already know who you would like to live with, you will be asked to:

For 2-person apartments:

• List your intended roommate's full name & ID number

For 3-person apartments

• Identify roommate pairs
• Specify who would occupy the single room

This information helps us understand group preferences and plan placements accurately. Please ensure that your intended group leader submits the form.

Placement Timeline

Submitting the HawkLink does not guarantee placement, rather it allows us to assess interest and build a potential placement plan.

Groups selected for Almeida Senior/Junior Placement will have their applications approved and they will be placed by March 26th.

If space runs out, resident groups will be repopulated back into the General Housing Selection process with their class group.

Review Student Account and ensure that any Bursar holds are removed. Holds can be viewed through a student’s Roger Central account.

Students with holds on their accounts after March 23rd will be removed from the Housing Selection Process.

Opens: March 18, 2026 at 12:00am
Closes: March 25, 2026 at 5:00pm

Students have an opportunity to log onto  to search for other students to form roommate groups to live with next year. If students prefer to go through the process individually/without a roommate, they can go “Solo”.

If you know the person or persons you want to live with, you will form a group during Roommate Matching and Group Formation.

• If you successfully matched with your group prior to March 25, 2026 at 5:00pm EST, the Group Leader's selection time will be the selection time for the entire group- please be mindful of this when selecting roommates from different class years OR who may only be eligible for Late Selection.
