The housing contract portal will remain open until 11:59 p.m. on February 28, 2017 for renewal requests. The system is dynamic and changes frequently (e.g., someone who had previously booked a space changed her/his mind and cancelled the booking).

After February 28, 2017, we will make a wait list available for space in Honors College and Residences. To be eligible for the Honors College and Residences wait list, a student must:
  • Have completed and signed a housing contract for AY 2017-18
