AY 2026-2027 Returner Priority Application

Academic Year North Village on-campus housing applications will include the signing of a License Agreement that will be in effect from August through May. Depending on your application and your assigned housing, you may have to leave for Winter Break (but your belongings would still remain in your room).

Housing placement is on a first-come, first-served basis and is not guaranteed, as we have limited spaces for upper-division students. Students will be placed on a waitlist if we cannot accommodate your application. We encourage students to complete their application (submit application and pay/defer the $250 payment) or to look at Hornet Commons on-campus housing.

Please follow the below instructions for completing your on-campus housing application.
