Current Room Re-Selection
Upper-division housing sign-up begins on January 25, 2027. As part of that process, students can reselect their current residence hall room*.
*Rooms within the Engineering Leadership Learning Community or the Health Professions Learning Community cannot be reselected. Thompson Hall will be unavailable for room reselection due to renovations beginning in Summer 2027. Niskanen Hall will be unavailable for room reselection due to its conversion to an Apartment.
*Double rooms purchased as a single-occupancy room can be reselected during the room renewal process in January, BUT it will be a double-occupancy room, so a roommate will be assigned to the space.
