Applying for Student Housing as an incoming resident
Student Housing is preparing to reopen to full capacity for the 2021-2022 academic year to support in-person instruction. All new students and those who maintain their student status and complete all Reservation Days steps are eligible to live on campus. Students should expect to share living space as appropriate in each residential community and abide by all COVID-19 guidelines in Fall 2021.
For 2021-2022 housing, unless approved for a vaccination exemption, residents are required to be immunized for COVID-19 prior to Move-In. Processes for vaccine verification and exemption are still being developed and will be announced over the summer.
