All single freshman and sophomore traditional undergraduate students under 21 years of age are required to live in on-campus housing unless they are living with their parent/legal guardian.

If you do not meet the qualifications for off-campus housing, please complete the off-campus petition on the housing portal.

Students will be able to see their room assignment and roommate on for fall semester on their Housing Portal homepage after completing the housign application. This information is not updated in the Self-Service Site until August 1 so the best place to check is on the Housing Portal. Students arriving in spring will be able to view their room and roommate assignments on the housing portal no later than the Friday before the start of the spring term. 

All of our Residence Halls are equipped with XL twin beds, desks, dressers and desk chairs. For more information regarding each building's features and amenities, please click here.

All of our Residence Halls have multiple app-controlled credit/debit card payment option washers and dryers.

We do not have a curfew for on-campus housing.
