The Housing Selection Process and all housing logistics are administered by the Housing & Operations Team. Please contact the Housing & Operations Team directly with any questions related to housing selection and placement.
Our residential programs are supported by student Community Advisors (CAs) and professional staff. Our dedicated staff are available to support students toward the resolution of their challenges and the identification of engagement opportunities.
Room change requests require careful evaluation. Your first step is to contact your CA about a room change. If your request is ultimately approved, the Housing & Operations Team determines where and when a move is possible.
We hope to cultivate a sense of community within the residence halls, motivate more conversations and awareness around health/well-being, inclusion, personal responsibility, and social engagement.
As you prepare to join us on campus, please consider the following items for your packing list. We recommend no more than two suitcases.
Laundry facilities are available in the residence halls. AC Web Laundry provides web access to real-time laundry machine status information for campus washers and dryers.
