Room Selection

Room Selection is the process when current undergraduate residents (rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors living in campus housing for the Spring 2027 semester) select their on-campus housing for the next academic year.

Are You Eligible?

In general, you are eligible if ...

You are a current first-year/class 1, sophomore/class 2, and junior/class 3 (in other words, rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors), living IN campus or Fraternity & Sorority Life housing for the full Spring 2027 semester, enrolled in classes for the Spring 2027 semester as a full-time undergraduate student, and are not scheduled to graduate prior to May 2028.

You're not automatically eligible, but can request eligibility if ...

You are a current undergraduate senior/fifth-year/class 4 or 5 resident living in housing for the Spring 2027 semester, and you are going to be enrolled as an undergraduate student for the full 2027-2028 academic year. To request to be made eligible for Room Selection, email our Room Assignments Team at rmassign@andrew.cmu.edu. Once your graduation date of May 2028 is confirmed, you will be approved.

In general, you are NOT eligible if ...

  • You are a graduate student.
  • You are an undergraduate who will be a graduate student (class 10) in Fall 2027 (including accelerated Master's programs).
  • You are an undergraduate student currently living off-campus.
  • You are a new incoming first-year student who will start at CMU in the Fall of 2027.
  • You are on a leave of absence, academic suspension, or any other non-enrolled status during the Spring 2027 semester (however, you can apply for the housing waitlist, which opens at the same time as the Room Selection application.)
  • You are scheduled to graduate in December 2027; however, you can email us at rmassign@andrew.cmu.edu to get your name on the Fall-Only waitlist. If space remains, we will make fall-only housing offers based on availability following the General Room Selection process and after accommodating full academic-year applicants. Fall-Only housing is not guaranteed.
