Returning Residents

Welcome back to University Housing!

To reserve an on-campus living space for the next academic year, returning residents should complete the Housing Selection process each spring. Check our website and your student email for dates and details on this annual process.

During Housing Selection, you’ll submit an online application for your preferred building, room choice and roommate selection. Remember that Housing Selection is a two-part process: updating your housing application and completing your room assignment.

When Housing Selection opens, you’ll apply through MyPack portal.  Select:  Student Services> University Housing>Current Student> Housing Selection.

FAQs Answered

• Each year, University Housing holds some room inventory for Living and Learning Villages, meaning some spaces may be unavailable for renewal. If your room is not available for renewal, you’ll be notified in advance of the Housing Selection process. 
• If you are a returning resident, we can guarantee you a space on-campus since returning residents are assigned before incoming students.
