Freshmen/Transfers
Initial housing offers for new students are part of the admissions process. Upon accepting an offer of admission to the university (if housing is included with the offer) new students will have the option to concurrently accept the housing offer. Details of this process are provided by the Admissions Office.
Admissions will then notify housing of your request for university housing and the Department of Housing will send you detailed instructions on completing the on-line housing application. The application will allow you to include hall preferences (no specific assignment is guaranteed), indicate roommate preferences, and complete a roommate matching questionnaire.
The housing application process begins in April.
A $1000 reservation fee is due in early June to secure housing reservations.
Assignment notifications are sent out the first week of August.
If you decline your offer, miss the application or payment deadline or cancel your housing, all future housing requests can be made only through the housing wait list.
Undergraduate Re-Application and Room Selection
Students are guaranteed University housing for their entire undergraduate academic career provided that they continue to meet all application, payment, registration and occupancy conditions. Students are not guaranteed a specific hall or room placement. If you fail to meet the re-application deadline, you will lose your renewable status and will be eligible for housing only through the wait list.
The re-application process begins in early February. Annually, residents with a renewable housing license must reapply by the deadline date. Students who reapply by the deadline date are then eligible to participate in the room selection process for the upcoming academic year.
A non-refundable/non-transferable application fee is due upon re-application.
If you decline your offer, miss the application or payment deadline or cancel your housing, all future housing requests can be made only through the housing wait list.
Early in the spring term, detailed information on the Re-Application/Room Selection process is made available to all residents through information sessions, meetings with Residence Hall staff, individualized mailings and on-line instructions for specific re-application information click here.
Graduate Housing
Historically, some graduate students have chosen to live in University housing to acclimate themselves to New York City and then move off - campus after their first year. Student Housing is limited and applications are prioritized in coordination with each graduate school. Eligible graduate students will be sent specific application instructions. PLEASE NOTE: Completion of the Housing Application and/or submission of the deposit does not guarantee placement in Graduate Housing.
University housing for graduate students is non-renewable after the first year.
The graduate housing application process begins in March.
A $1000 reservation fee is due with the housing application.
Students will be notified in mid-June regarding the status of their housing reservation.
Assignment notifications are sent out the first week of August.
If you decline your offer, miss the application or payment deadline or cancel your housing, all future housing requests can be made only through the housing wait list.
Graduate students interested in residing in university housing beyond the first year may place themselves on the housing wait list (available the first week of May for fall term; first week of November for spring term). Placements will be made based upon space availability.
