Housing Selection
FALL 2025 Room Selection Information
In order to participate in the upcoming housing selection process, continuing students must pay your $250 housing deposit by March 2, 2025 and your account must be clear of any holds. Deposits made after this date will be accepted, but will not be guaranteed to receive a housing assignment. Students who deposit after March 2nd will not be able to take part in the room selection process. Our office will assign late deposits to housing by mid-July.
Students who have not signed a license agreement and completed the mandatory questions that follow will not be allowed to go through the room selection process. The questions have changed, please pay close attention as your housing options that you see will depend on how you answer the questions. Please review our FAQ Sheet to provide more specific details on the housing selection process.
Housing Selection Dates (Fall 2025):
Housing selection is based on completed credits. Credits that are currently in progress are not included. Below are some keys dates to keep in mind:
March 2nd- Housing deposits and your completed RLA are due. If both are not received by this date you will not be able to select who you want to live with or where you are living.
March 3rd-17th- Roommate selection will be open. You will need to match up with any students you want to live following the information above. You will not be able to search for or pull in a student who did not meet the March 2nd deadline for deposit and RLA.
March 18th-26th- RSL will review all housing submissions for the students who submitted the housing deposit and RLA on time and fully matched with who they wanted to live with in the housing system. Our office will take all requests into consideration and assign housing from highest credit level to lowest credit level.
March 27th- Housing assignments will be sent out to students by e-mail. Students can opt out of the assignment they received by e-mailing RSL@purchase.edu by April 4th. Those students will be entered into a live room selection process. Please note that if you did not receive a single based on your credit level, you won’t find a single during the live process.
April 14th-18th- A live selection will take place for students who submitted the deposit and RLA on time who are opting out of the assignment they received from RSL.
All deposits received after March 2nd will be assigned to housing over the summer months. Housing assignments will be based on the availability we have after room selection has been completed. It will be very difficult to take requests after the room selection process as housing will be limited. We recommend submitting your deposit and RLA by March 2nd if you want to live in certain area or with friends.
