Housing Assignments
On campus housing is available to transfer students. Most housing assignments for transfer students happen in mid- to late July when the Houses have the greatest number of available beds for the Fall semester. Once transfer student housing assignments have been confirmed, (usually sometime in early August) the Housing Office will reach out to you with you assignment. Housing assignments are very likely in shared suites.
