Late Applicant Process
For students who were unable to participate in housing selection and applied late, there will be an additional questionnaire available on your Housing Portal today that will be visible after you complete the housing application.
This 2025-2026 Room Placement Questionnaire is intended to gather specific roommate or assignment preferences from students who were unable to select during the process due missing the deadline. If there is a specific student you would like to live with, please indicate the names and ID numbers of the student who you鈥檇 like to live with. It is important to note that Residence Life does not guarantee or promise that these preferences will be met, as all assignments will be made as space allows.
Students requesting specific placements may see a delay in receiving an assignment as we continue to work to accommodate as many requests as possible. This questionnaire will remain on file until your requests are met or until it is determined that we are not able to accommodate your specific requests. Note that at this time, the formal housing selection process has ended, so all assignments moving forward would be made by Residence Life.
