How It Works 

1. Housing Application Completed 
   • Only students who completed their housing application by March 28, 2025 are eligible to participate in room selection. All other students will be placed on the waitlist.
2. Create Your Group
   • Create your roommate group in the application in advance of your selection day. 
   • Students will be able to request any returning student(s) to join their roommate group.
3. Mark Your Calendar
   • Time slots will be designated based on roommate group size and class year. Please note that all the time slots are in Eastern Standard Time (EST). 
4. Time Slots
   • Your time slot will be available to view on the Housing Portal the week of April 7, 2025. 
   • Time slots will open at 10am on Monday, April 14, 2025
   • Once your time slot opens, you will be able to select an apartment and assign yourself and any roommates to an apartment that are already within your group.
   • Students can sign up at any time after their time slot has begun.  
5. Review Desired Location
   • Juniors and Seniors can choose an apartment in The Gateway or Meyerhoff House.
   • Rising Sophomores can choose an apartment in Meyerhoff House or Leake Hall.
   • First Year students who are returning for their second semester in Fall 2025 will also be permitted to select a room in Leake Hall.
   • Only available rooms that have not yet been chosen will show at the time of your time slot. 
   • The maximum number of people allowed to share an apartment is 4, with the exception of two 5 person spaces in Meyerhoff. The apartment must be filled in order to choose it. 
6. Choose your Apartment
   • On the date and time assigned to you, log in to the Housing Portal and sign up your group for an apartment.  
   • Only 1 person will need to be logged in to place your apartment-mate into their assignment.
