Spring 2024 Housing Application and Assignment Guide
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 2024 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 2024 Only Housing Application opens on October 16, 2023, 12:00PM EDT, for those returning to the Atlanta campus for the Spring 2024 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 sign 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 16, 2023 to complete the application.
Assignment Process
Completing the housing application lets our office know that you would like to live on campus. Our staff assigns 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 via your Emory email before an on-campus housing assignment is made.
Applications received prior to 11:59 PM EST on December 1, 2023 will receive communication from the housing office after December 15 and before our office closes on December 22.
Applications received between December 2, 2023 – January 2, 2024 will receive notification from the housing office in early-January.
Move-in
If you receive a housing assignment, the move-in date is Sunday, January 14. Residents seeking an earlier move-in date will need to register with Housing and will be charged $100 for each day.
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 2024” 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.
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 December 1.
There is a good likelihood that our office will be able to honor this request.
Frequently Asked Questions

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.
The following is the order in which our office approaches Spring 2024 assignments in consideration of any room/suitemate requests:
- Applications received by/before December 1 with a mutually matched pair/group
- Applications received by/before December 1
- Applications received after December 1 with a mutually matched pair/group
- Applications received after December 1
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. Students should also reach out to their respective chapter leadership.
Please visit Move My Dorm (Oxford students) to see about moving and storage options during Winter Break. Students can also visit Storage Squad for other options. As a reminder, you will not be able to move your personal belongings into your assigned space until January 14. If you wish to move in prior to January 14, you will need to request for an early arrival after you are assigned a space.
