Guaranteed Selection: What Rising Sophomores Need to Know

1. Rising Sophomores who paid their tuition deposit prior to May 1, 2024: If the Housing Selection Process e-mail sent to your University e-mail account indicates that you are a Guaranteed Upper-Class Student, you must process your housing application and deposit by the due date of February 1, 2025, to be guaranteed housing. Your Housing Selection Lottery Number will be used to determine the order in which you select your room. View our Non-Guaranteed Student Housing Selection Process if you are a rising Sophomore who received a Housing Selection Process e-mail that stated that you are a Non-Guaranteed Student.
