Overview of the 2015-16 Housing Selection Process for Returning Residents

By: Stuart Davis

The room selection process for the next academic year begins with the submittal of an application in January. Returning residents, who are not required to reside on-campus as of the fall semester, will make their room selection in February, while those required to reside on-campus will make their room selections in March.

The application and room selection are completed on-line. Priority in the selection process is random (with the exception of a few populations such as disability accommodations, those wanting to return to the same unit or building, etc.).  We anticipate about 600 beds will be available for returning residents not required to reside on-campus (up from this current academic year). Those who are required to reside on-campus are guaranteed on-campus housing (although not necessarily their preferred living style).

We recognize that some residents (and perhaps parents) may experience increased anxiety during this process. We will provide lots of information to returning residents via email and post information on the room selection page of our web site. Please feel free to contact the Housing Office (509-313-4103 or housing@gonzaga.edu) regarding this process or any other housing issue.
