Upper-Level Timeline for Room Selection & Retention

How to Read This Timeline

This page is for returning and upper-level students, including upper-level transfers.

This page is divided into 4 phases—Apply, Retention, Room Selection, and Swaps/Changes. Start with Phase 1 and follow along in order. Each table shows the dates, what’s happening, and a quick “What to do now” so you always know your next step.

If you don’t plan to keep your same room, you can skip the Retention phase and move straight to Room Selection.

If you’re in a Living-Learning or Themed Community (LLC/TC), check the LLC/TC Quick Reference box at the bottom for your specific deadlines.

Please note that all dates are tentative at this time and may be subject to change.

Application & Room Selection Phases

Your housing process is split into four phases. Open the phase you’re in to check the dates, what’s happening, and exactly what you need to do next. Please note that these phases do overlap, so please be sure to check each section's dates carefully.
