Apply for Residence for the Winter Term (January - April 2024)
The residence application for the winter term launched in early November.
Students interested in applying for residence for the winter term should contact our office to request access to the residence application.
Residence is not guaranteed for the winter term as our ability to provide residence to students who choose to apply is dependent upon room availability throughout the fall term. Typically, we have been able to offer residence to all students who have applied in previous years.
Roommate requests cannot be accommodated for the winter term as spaces are limited to those rooms that have become available through cancellations received during the fall term.
Residence spaces will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis for the winter term.
