In the residence halls:
As space allows, applicants will receive a time slot for room selection with the option to participate in roommate matching. Roommate matching will occur between Feb. 7-17.
You may select up to three people to be a part of your group to fill a room. All SYA rooms are open to any gender.
In the residence halls:
All students that have completed part one of the application by Feb. 13 will be notified of the current status of their application on Feb. 14.
As space allows, applicants will be given an individual time slot to select a room (as noted above). This time slot is based on the completion date for part one of the housing application. The room selection period will be Feb. 18-28 after roommate matching has concluded.
Those applicants who did not receive an initial time slot for room selection will be given the opportunity to review a room assignment offer and sign the contract on a rolling basis based on room availability.
In an on-campus apartment:
If a room becomes available and your waitlist position is next in the queue, you will be contacted through your ONID email account with an apartment and a tour offer. Due to the high waitlist volume, applicants are given 72 hours to accept or decline the apartment offer.
To secure your space in a residence hall, return to the housing portal and complete "part two" of the application -- signing a 2025-2026 UHDS Room and Dining Contract. You will be given access to sign the contract once you have selected a room or accepted a room placement. Make sure you understand the contract before you complete it.
A $50 contract fee will be charged after signing the contract. The deadline to cancel your contract with no cancelation fee is May 31, 2025.
To accept an apartment offer, follow the instructions in your apartment offer email.
