Third-and-Fourth-Year Housing Information
The Housed Student Waitlist is for students with an active 2025-2026 on-campus housing assignment seeking reassignment.
-
Students seeking a reassignment must join a Housed Student Waitlist to be considered for reassignment. To join the Housed Student Waitlists – log onto MyHousing and select “Waitlist” under the “Room and Roommate” menu.
-
Beginning on April 22, Housing Operations will publish all available and selectable rooms via a weekly* open selection process on MyHousing from Tuesday at noon EDT to Wednesday at noon EDT.
-
To participate in the weekly selection session, students must register on the waitlist by the previous Sunday before 11:59 PM.
-
Space availability may vary weekly.
-
Students are removed from all Housed Student Waitlists when they select a new space.
-
The weekly selection sessions only apply to the student participating in the process. Roommates/Suitemates will not be automatically relocated when a student selects a new space through this process.
-
For students who wish to move with one or more of their current roommates/suitemates, this must be done with a manual offer from the Housing Assignments office. You must ensure you have listed your preferred roommates in the comments section of the waitlist request.
All reassignments are subject to availability.
Students are considered on the on-campus housing waitlist if they complete their application but do not have an on-campus housing assignment.
The 2025-2026 Residential Housing Agreement is binding when students select their on-campus housing.
-
Beginning on April 24, Housing Operations will publish all available and selectable via a weekly* open selection process on MyHousing from Thursday at noon EDT to Friday at noon EDT.

Session 1 on April 24 is for students who applied for on-campus housing before February 26.

Students are removed from the on-campus housing waitlist and future selection sessions once they select a space.

If you have a roommate/suitemate(s) in mind who is also on the waitlist, you MUST request and match with them before selecting housing. Housing Operations cannot honor any roommate/suitemate request after the student has chosen their housing.
-
A manual assignment offer process will be in place for students wishing to join students with an existing assignment, subject to availability.
If you sign an on-campus housing application, you withdraw with no penalty prior to receiving a housing assignment.
Once you select a housing assignment via housing selection, being "pulled in" to an apartment by a matched roommate, or the housing office assigning you to an available space as a result of a completed housing application on file, you are bound to the terms of the housing agreement and there are financial penalties for requesting to be released from your housing agreement.
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 make sure you are selecting the “Fall 2025” term from the drop-down box when searching for a roommate.
All roommate/suitemate requests must be submitted through MyHousing before selecting a space. We cannot honor any roommate/suitemate request after a student chooses or receives on-campus housing.
Here is a short video on How to Complete Roommate Matching in THD.
