CURRENT RESIDENTS: Housing Information for 2025/2026
This group is comprised of current ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ students living on campus Fall 2024 and/or Spring 2025.
NEW for 2025/2026 is the addition of a new residential community for Honors students and, based on availability, any ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ student! More information about this new addition to campus is coming soon!
Current residents have an initial priority to upper-class housing space in Osprey Fountains, Osprey Village, The Flats at ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ and a portion of the new residential community.
Any CURRENT RESIDENT who has a desire to live on-campus for the 2025/2026 academic year should submit their housing contract as soon as possible, but no later than MARCH 1, 2025.
Please note, the timeline for CURRENT RESIDENTS to take advantage of the initial priority is very tight! On December 2, 2024 the opportunity to submit a housing contract will expand to all other students not currently living on campus.
Any CURRENT RESIDENT living in Osprey Fountains, Osprey Village and The Flats at ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ who fully submits the 2025/2026 Housing Contract prior to January 20, 2025 will be pre-assigned by Housing and Residence Life to their same bedspace for 2025/2026. Please note, not all bed spaces will be eligible to be preassigned as there will be spaces identified for use by the department to include, but not limited to, medical/disability accommodations, Living-Learning Communities and department student staffing needs. Housing and Residence Life reserves the right to make all determinations as to what space will be eligible to be preassigned or not. If a student is preassigned to one of these communities, the student will have the opportunity to keep or alter their preassigned space during the online room selection process. Students that have been preassigned will be notified of their assignment status via e-mail prior to the online room selection process beginning.
