Returning Student Application Processes

Unlike incoming freshmen, on-campus housing is not guaranteed to returning or transfer students. Returning undergraduate students who would like to live on campus have several options. Students may apply to join a Living Learning Program for the following year or may place themselves on a general waitlist. Students who are members of the Corps of Cadets will have a separate housing process. Residential Well-being Student Leaders, students living in Oak Lane, and certain student athletes will follow their own housing processes.

Living-Learning Program Returners

Our Living Learning Programs invite students to apply to return to campus housing as a member of an LLP. Each LLP has certain admission requirements, but all students are welcome to apply. For more information about the LLP Returner process, please visit Living-Learning Programs.

Waitlist

The returning student waitlist for fall housing will open at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, January 19, 2027.
