The University has experienced an increase in enrollment over the last two years, which in turn has increased the amount of students interested in living on campus. There are a limited number of bedspaces on campus. When there are more students who apply for housing compared to the amount of bedspaces available on campus, a housing waitlist begins.
In recent years, the housing waitlist has begun between the months of July-August. We strongly suggest to students interested in living on campus to submit their housing applications sooner rather than later. Residents that lived on campus last year have had since mid-March to apply for housing and new students have had since beginning of April to apply for housing.
Unfortunately, if you are not currently assigned a bedspace, you will not be permitted to move in to on campus housing. If you are provided a housing assignment via your student email account, your move-in information will be found in the assignment notice email.
We assign bedspaces to students on the waitlist as they become available. We ask for your patience and flexibility.
Our department only communicates housing information to your 澳门六合开奖 student email account. We cannot send information to non-RU student emails for your student privacy.
As long as your application is on the waitlist it represents your interest in being assigned housing. If you haven't heard from us, it means you are still on the waitlist and that you currently don't have housing.
We will actively process cancellations and assign students from the waitlist so long as waitlisted students are registered for the fall semester. We verify all students currently assigned will be enrolled during the Academic Year and that they have resolved all Financial Aid Services items in order to be permitted to reside on campus. You will receive regular updates from our office regarding your waitlist status so we encourage you to check your student email regularly.
If you successfully find off-campus housing before being assigned a space on campus, immediately cancel your housing contract. If you are looking to commute for the fall term, please also cancel your housing contract. You can cancel your housing contract via the Housing Portal, or by emailing reslife@roosevelt.edu and stating you'd like to cancel your contract.
Absolutely! Please cancel your housing contract via the Housing Portal and note in your cancellation request that you will be applying for housing for the Spring term. You will apply for the Spring Housing Application on the Housing Portal in early November when it becomes available. You will not need to submit your housing deposit or application fee again as you have already done so for the academic year.
At the end of every Fall term, bedspaces on campus open up because students graduate mid-year, study abroad, transfer institutions, take a semester off, or many other reasons. Those spaces are vacated at the end of the Fall semester, then cleaned by our Housekeeping team, and then offered to students who apply for Spring housing.
The $250 housing deposit is credited to your fall balance as a payment. If you are not placed in on campus housing, it will be credited towards your tuition/fees cost for the fall semester.
If you have questions that are not addressed on this list, please reach out to the Office of Residence Life University Housing for further assistance. You can email our department at reslife@roosevelt.edu or call us at 312-341-2005.
