Frequently Asked Questions
Currently enrolled undergraduate students who are interested in living on campus for
the upcoming academic year should plan to participate in the Room Selection Process.
Students wishing to participate in the Room Selection process must complete the following
three steps in the order listed to become eligible:
- Resolve any outstanding balances with the Bursar’s Office. Students who have an active
financial hold are not permitted to pay a room deposit for the upcoming academic year.
- Submit a $500 room deposit in ePay. Learn how to submit your room deposit here!
- Complete the Continuing Student Housing Application in the myHousing portal. Students who have not submitted a room deposit in ePay will not see the housing application. After submitting your deposit, you will see your housing application within 24 hours.
Any currently enrolled student with a current Housing Modification that is approved
by the Accessibility Resources Center (ARC) must renew their Housing Modification for the upcoming academic year by the deadline
outlined above. To renew/edit your current housing modification, please email the
Accessibility Resources Center at ARC@newhaven.edu
Any currently enrolled student who needs to apply for new Housing Modification who
does not currently have a Housing Modification must complete this form by the deadline outlined above for review by the Accessibility Resources Center (ARC).
The only students permitted priority room selection are those approved for Housing
Modifications by the Accessibility Resources Center. However, we do have various opportunities
for students to become eligible for a raffle to win their housing preference for them
and their roommates. Students have been notified of these opportunities via their
student email. Please note, any student who wins a raffle for their first housing
preference must be eligible for the Room Selection Process by the deadline above.
Additionally, their preferred roommates must also be eligible by the deadline.
We permit sophomore students to only match with other sophomore students as roommates.
Juniors and Seniors may create roommate groups with other Juniors and Seniors.
After the deposit and application deadline in March, the Office of Residential Life
will release an eligibility list that will outline all the students eligible for the
Room Selection Process. Soon after that list is shared, you will be able to select
your roommates and pick a room! A more detailed schedule of the Room Selection Process
will be shared in February.
The Office of Residential Life has received several questions regarding students enrolled
in Pathway/Dual Degree programs who will transition to their graduate studies next
year. If you are enrolled in a Pathway/Dual Degree program, you may participate in
room selection with your peers (your Rising Class Status will be senior or junior).
However, if you are beginning the fall semester as a graduate student and would prefer
to be in graduate housing, you must contact our office for access to the graduate
student housing application.
You will select your meal plan after you have selected your housing assignment. If
you do not select your meal plan and you have selected to live in a building that
requires a meal plan, we will automatically enroll you in a meal plan.

Most of the information shared about Room Selection will be via email. Additionally,
flyers, posters, and bulletin boards will be hung throughout our residence halls to
remind you of important dates and information about our process. You can always ask
your hall staff about this process as well! They will have a lot of information for
you as you progress through the process. If you’re curious to see who manages your
hall, check out the Office of Residential Life Staff Information page!
