- All rooms/apartments MUST be filled to capacity during the online housing selection process. This means that if you want to select a double room, you must have a roommate in order to select a double room.
- Residential Education will notify you if a vacancy should occur prior to July 1 to discuss the potential options to fill the vacancy. We strongly encourage roommates and groups to be responsible for maintaining communication among each other regarding changes to their room/apartment occupancy over the summer.
- If a vacancy occurs in a room or apartment after July 1, the Office of Residential Education may use our discretion to assign you a new roommate without prior notification.

To help students review housing options, floor plans for all residence halls are available online through CNAV/MyPlace/MyHousing/Housing Self-Service.
Also, room amenity information is available on the Office of Residential Education website. This information includes availability of gender-neutral bathrooms within residential properties.

The vast majority of singles on campus are located within college houses, suites, and apartments. We have a very limited number of stand-alone singles; (e.g. singles that are located in Musselman Hall or Lahm Hall) that can be selected through the online housing selection process. The stand-alone singles that we do have are usually selected early in the online housing selection process. Students pursuing this option should have alternative housing options in mind in case they are unable to acquire a single room. A wait list is maintained in the Office of Residential Education for single rooms, but there is no guarantee that singles will become available.

During the 2023-2024 housing selection process, students may choose to live in gender-inclusive housing. This policy allows two or more students to share a multiple-occupancy bedroom, suite, or apartment regardless of students’ sex or gender. Gender-inclusive housing is not intended for romantic couples. Rather, it provides options for a variety of students: those who feel uncomfortable rooming with members of the same sex, transgender students in the process of discovering their gender identity, students who feel they would be more compatible with a roommate of a different sex or gender, and students who do not want sex or gender to be a primary factor in choosing a roommate. Gender-inclusive housing intends to help create a campus climate that is welcoming, inclusive, and supportive of all students. Please review the gender-inclusive housing policy and FAQs page for further information.

Quarry Suites Meal Plan Requirement
Because Quarry Suites are designed without full kitchens, students are required to have a meal plan (Apartment Meal Plan cannot be used by Quarry residents). NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy will be made.Apple Hall Custom Furniture
Apple Hall has customized furniture in order to maximize space so that all bedroom furniture can be accommodated in each room. Due to the size of some rooms it is necessary or recommended that one or two of the beds be elevated either to a half height setting using a “junior loft” bed set or full height using a regular bed set. Please refer to the floor plans posted online to review the list of rooms where beds should be elevated. Please take this information into consideration when selecting a room if you prefer to have a bed set at the lowest level.Ice House and College Apartment Rooms
Due to the size of some rooms in Ice House H and College Apartments it is recommended that the beds be bunked (Ice House or College Apartments) or lofted (College Apartments only) if students want to have their desks in the bedroom instead of the common room. Please refer to the floor plans posted online to review the list of rooms where beds should be elevated. Please take this information into consideration when selecting a room if you prefer to have a bed that is not elevated. -
Students who select housing in the Quarry Suites, Apple Hall, Ice House, and College Apartments should pay particular attention to the bedrooms that they are signing into since the bedrooms doors lock. Students in these buildings will receive two keys at check-in: one for the apartment door and one that is specific to the bedroom door that they sign into.
