Applications and Requests

 

 Residence Hall & Dining Services Application

The university requires all freshman and sophomore undergraduate students to live in campus housing. As is the case on most residential campuses, on-campus housing for junior and senior students is not automatically guaranteed. During the Spring semester, a lottery is conducted where interested junior and senior students may select housing from available rooms for the next academic year. Housing Services also offers guidance to upperclass and graduate students seeking off-campus residence.

  • Fall 2013
    • Newly admitted Freshmen and Transfer students who have paid their enrollment deposit can apply for housing via the the New CUA Student Housing Application available online in MyHousing. The housing application deadline is May 15th for new freshmen and August 1st for new transfer students. Housing Services is unable to guarantee housing to students who submit applications after the advertised dates. More information on the application process can be found here.
    • Continuing students should plan to particpate in the online Room Selection Process. The deadline for both the $500 Housing Deposit and the Room Selection Intent was Friday February 8, 2013. 
      • If you are required to live on campus next year, the $500 Housing Deposit and Room Selection Intent should still be submitted online. Late submissions will receive a lottery number, but it will be generated after the lottery numbers for all sophomores who submitted their deposit and intent by the deadline. If the Sophomore Lottery has concluded you will be eligible for the Sophomore Waitlist.
      • If you will have 55 credits or more at the conclusion of the Spring semester you are not required to live on campus. Late Room Selection Intents will generally not be accepted. However, you can participate in the Junior/Senior Waitlist or seek assistance finding off-campus housing.
    • Due to limited space availability, graduate and law students should make off-campus arrangements for housing. Housing Services can assist students with finding off-campus housing.
  •  Spring 2014
    • The online application will be available soon for new students and continuing undergraduate students applying for spring housing. The Priority Application date is November 15th. Applications will be assigned on a rolling basis beginning in early December. Assignment confirmations will be sent by mid-December; once assignments are made they will also be available online in MyHousing.
