Priority is assigned based on your housing application date, so the sooner you apply for housing, the more likely you are to choose the hall and room of your choice! Students must complete the parental verification process in order to receive their priority selection date and time. If you are under the age of 19, your parent or guardian will receive a separate email to verify your application. Please ensure this step is completed in a timely manner in order to keep an earlier selection time. 

Students will receive a reminder notification two weeks, one week, and 48 hours before the selection period opens. Students who submit their application after April 1, 2025, or do not select their room during the selection period, will be assigned by the housing office based on preferences and availability. Housing assignments and/or roommate requests are not guaranteed.

First-Year Room Selection Procedures

• We currently do not offer private rooms upon application for housing for first-year students. Our live-on requirement mandates we have as many beds available for our first-year student population. 
• You may request a private room after move in. The room change request form can be found online though Roompact. Roompact will not be accessible until move-in weekend in August.
• If space becomes available and your request is granted, you may move during the third full week of classes (room change week).
• You will be required to pay the difference in housing rates if you are moving to a more expensive housing assignment or will be refunded if moving to a cheaper housing option.
• Any room changes taking place outside of room change week may result in additional charges. 

• Roommate requests must be mutual and must include the correct student number of each roommate.
• Both roommate applications and application fees must be received online through THD Self Service by April 1 to be considered.  
• You will be assigned another roommate if your desired roommate does not request you as a roommate, cancels their application, or both applications are not received by April 1.
