First-year students:
All incoming first-year students are required to live in on-campus housing for their first year (please note that the first-year residency requirement and guarantee has been waived for 2020-2021 due to COVID-19); however, students are not guaranteed their choice of housing, and must complete their housing/dining contract to be assigned a space. Assignments for incoming first-year students and transfers are made in contract receipt order, so the earlier your contract arrives, the earlier you are assigned in the process.
The only students that are guaranteed housing in Pritchard Hall are those who have applied and been accepted to one of the Living-Learning Communities located in Pritchard Hall. To complete the HAP and apply to Living-Learning Programs, log into the StarRez Portal. For more detailed information about first-year housing, please visit this page.
Returning students:
