Gettysburg College offers a wide variety of housing options. The housing selection process is designed to help students select housing for the following year. There are many details to consider, therefore we ask that you read this information carefully and familiarize yourself with the processes, policies, and housing options available to you.

As an overview:

• In February, students apply to live in theme houses, request special needs housing, confirm housing in fraternity houses, and other specialized programs are selected. In addition, interested juniors apply to live off-campus for their senior year.
• All remaining students participate in the online housing selection process that takes place in March and April.
• Please note that Gettysburg College is now offering gender-neutral housing. This option allows two or more students to share a multiple-occupancy bedroom, suite, or apartment regardless of students' sex or gender. Gender-neutral housing is intended for students who wish to share a living space with friends regardless of gender identity; it is not intended for romantic couples. Please review the gender-neutral housing policy and FAQs page for further information.

Online Housing Selection (remember when accessing CNAV/MyHousing, please do NOT use the Google Chrome browser):

With the exception of current first-year students, students will be able to view their lottery number in CNAV/MyHousing on Friday, February 8, 2013.  In order to take FYE points into consideration, current first-year students will be able to view their lottery number in CNAV/MyHousing by Friday, February 15, 2013. Beginning on Monday, March 18, 2013, juniors will be able to view their lottery selection date/time for the online housing selection process. After juniors have completed online housing selection, sophomores will be able to view their lottery selection date/time on Monday, April 8, 2013, and first-year students will be able to view their times on Monday, April 22, 2013. To assist students in selecting a room, students will have access to a step-by-step instruction booklet on how to select roommates and housing online.  

To help students review housing options, floor plans for all residence halls are available online through the MyHousing option in CNAV.  Room amenity information is available on our website. This information includes availability of gender-neutral bathrooms within residential properties.
