Welcome to the Room Selection Information Page!
The Room Selection Process at the University of New Haven is the process by which currently enrolled undergraduate students apply for and select their housing for the upcoming academic year. Annually, the Office of Residential Life hosts and facilitate this process for students to pick their room for the next academic year with their selected roommate group. Please see below for important dates and a list of frequently asked questions about our process.
Important Dates
Please note, the deadline to submit a room deposit and housing application (March 3, 2023) has passed. If you submitted your materials late, you will be added to our housing waiting list for the 2023-2024 academic year. We will begin placing students off of the waiting list following the conclusion of the Room Selection Process.
Students who are eligible for the Room Selection Process have been added to a course in Canvas. This invitation was sent via email on March 6, 2023. Students who received the invitation should check the Eligibility List located under "Discussions" and email roomselection@newhaven.edu should they have any questions.
Students who are not eligible for the Room Selection Process have not been added to the Canvas course. Please note, wait list students will receive an invitation after the Room Selection Process has concluded.
Can I still submit a room deposit and housing application for Fall '23?
Yes! You can still submit, but you will be added to our waiting list for housing. As a reminder, your room deposit should be submitted through ePay and your continuing student housing application should be submitted through myHousing. You will see your housing application the day after you submit your room deposit.
