This process applies only to students who are currently not assigned to on-campus housing at the Atlanta or Clairmont Campus.
Updates to the Spring 2026 housing assignment process are published on this page when necessary.
Third & fourth year students and Oxford graduates are not required to live on campus and on-campus housing is not guaranteed.
Email Housing@Emory.edu for additional questions.
Housing Application
The Spring 2026 Only Housing Application opens on October 15, 12:00PM EDT, for those returning to the Atlanta/Clairmont campus for the Spring 2026 semester who currently do not have a housing assignment on campus.
Third & fourth year students and Oxford graduates are not required to live on campus and on-campus housing is not guaranteed.
If you complete an on-campus housing application, you may cancel without penalty before receiving a housing assignment. You are bound to the terms of the housing agreement once you receive your on-campus housing assignment. There are financial penalties for requesting to be released from your housing agreement.
Log into the MyHousing Portal on October 15 to complete the application.
Assignment Process
Completing the housing application lets our office know that you would like to live on campus. Our staff will assign you to a space based on availability and the information on your application. If at any point you are no longer interested in on-campus housing, you must let our office know by emailing housing@emory.edu before an on-campus housing assignment is made.
Applications received prior to 11:59PM EST on November 19 will receive communication from the Housing Operations office on December 3 and before our office closes on December 24.
Applications received after November 19 will receive notification from the housing office on a rolling basis.
Once you receive an assignment, room changes will be made unavailable until the room change period begins. Roommate matching will also become unavailable once you receive an assignment.
Move-in
If you receive a housing assignment, the move-in date is Sunday, January 11 (9:00PM).
Oxford graduates moving to either the Atlanta or Clairmont Campus will also move in on January 11 (9:00PM).
Roommate Matching
Do you know someone who is planning to reside on campus, currently lives on campus and is graduating in December or studying abroad in the spring? Are you interested in their space?
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 A) have not completed the housing application or B) do not currently reside on the Atlanta/Clairmont Campus.
Please make sure you are selecting the “Spring 2026” term from the drop-down box when searching for a roommate.
All roommate requests are subject to the availability of spaces and are not guaranteed. Potential roommates must accept the request. All requests will only be processed through MyHousing's roommate matching section. Residence Life and Housing Operations will not honor roommate requests outside of MyHousing. Once you receive a housing assignment, roommate matching is no longer available.
Example:
- Students Alex, Blake, Charlie, and Dani live in a URC apartment. Dani will leave to study abroad, and Emerson wishes to join Alex, Blake, and Charlie.
- Emerson must submit a housing application, request Alex, Blake, and Charlie as roommates, and they must confirm Emerson’s request via MyHousing by November 19.
Our office cannot guarantee every specific request will be made.
Frequently Asked Questions
You will be able to match with a current resident(s) of the Atlanta/Clairmont Campus. Please make sure the potential roommate(s) agrees with this request and accepts your roommate request(s) via MyHousing prior to the November 19 deadline.
Example: Students Alex, Blake, Charlie, and Dani live in a URC apartment. Dani is leaving to go study abroad, and Emerson wishes to join Alex, Blake, and Charlie.

We cannot guarantee all requests will be made.
While we encourage students to apply as soon as possible, students who apply first are not guaranteed the first bed available. We take student requests/preferences and roommate matching into consideration when assigning.
Unlike fall semester housing, there is no selection period for spring housing.
Assigned students will be placed on the Clairmont Campus or in select houses on Eagle Row. Students affiliated with a sorority or a fraternity chapter with on-campus facilities may request to reside in their respective chapters.
