Securing your assignment for the 2026-2027 academic year takes a few easy steps!

• Complete the 2026-2027 Housing Agreement located on your MyHousing page by the June 1st deadline. Please allow up to 48 hours after you submit your Admissions deposit in order to gain access to your MyHousing portal. If you are unable to login after the 48 hours, please reach out to us at housing@emory.edu.  
• Complete any roommate matching you wish to complete. Remember, you can only search for and match with a roommate who has also completed their housing application. Not sure how to use the roommate search/match tool? Check out this guide!
• Please note that you can only match with one other student. If you would like make a request for one of our triples, please email housing@emory.edu. Note that triples are subject to availability on a first-come-first-served basis.
• Not sure about a roommate? No worries! Roughly 50% of first year students “go random” and do not pre-match with a roommate.
• Students can indicate their preference for the following: single room, double room, single-gender floor or a coed floor. 
• All first-year housing is randomly assigned. Students are not able to select their specific residence hall or room.  
• Suite and suitemate requests are not available to first-year students.
• Interested in a first-year immersion theme housing community? Check out programs available for the 2026-2027 academic year here.
• Housing assignments are released on July 15^th.

For more information, please email us at housing@emory.edu

To see more information about the residence halls available to you as a rising first-year student, please click on the "Housing Options" tab, then "Residence Halls" and then "First Year." You may also use the link below to view all the options for Housing. As a first-year student, you do not have the option to choose a specific building as we make assignments with the goal to create a well-rounded and diverse community of students. You do however, have the option to let us know your preference for the type of floor (same-gender, co-ed) you are assigned to; we will honor these preferences as we are able.

Please click here to view first-year housing options.

If you are interested in searching for or matching with a roommate, you must complete the housing application on your MyHousing page first. Students will not appear in roommate search if they have not completed the housing application.

Please note that you can only match with one other student. If you would like make a request for one of our triples, please email housing@emory.edu. Note that triples are subject to availability on a first-come-first-served basis.

We cannot honor any roommate request after a student chooses or receives on-campus housing. 

Please make sure you are selecting the “Fall 2026” term from the drop-down box when searching for a roommate. 

Please visit each residence hall's specific page to learn more about the different floor plans, room layouts and furniture dimensions. 

All mattresses in the first- and second-year Residence Halls are twin xl (80" x 36" x 8"). 

Students requesting a housing accommodation due to a medical need must contact the Department of Accessibility Services (DAS) to request a housing accommodation. As accommodations for various disability/medical needs take time to arrange, it is important that accommodation requests for pre-existing conditions are made well in advance.

Residence Life and Housing Operations do not review nor approve housing-related accommodations for medical reasons. All registration and documents must be submitted through the DAS.

Please submit any accommodation requests by June 1. 

For questions regarding this process, please contact accessibility@emory.edu or call 404.727.9877.

Renters insurance protects belongings, such as a laptop, smartphone, bicycle, textbooks, clothing, and other costly personal items from theft, vandalism, damage, and other covered events, and can help you repair or replace property, as well as provide personal liability insurance. Renters insurance also protects you and your family financially against unintentional damage to university property or bodily injury to others for which you are legally liable.

Emory University is not responsible for replacing stolen or damaged property. To help protect you and your family, all students who live in University Housing are strongly encouraged to carry renters’ insurance. We have partnered with GradGuard to provide students with a quality low-cost option. GradGuard Renters Insurance offers lower deductibles and premiums, and small claims will not affect your personal premiums for years to come.

Information about GradGuard renter's insurance is provided at the beginning of your 2025-2026 Housing Agreement.
