Started thinking about where you’ll live next year?

By Students

This information is most applicable for students returning for Fall enrollment.

Our department website provides a summary timeline for student action steps during RSP, with related forms and processes opening March 11 in eRezLife (log in with college username and password).

There will be some big changes to the process this year, so keep an eye on your email for detailed communication about RSP action steps, and take a moment now to reflect on the environmental, social, and financial factors you should consider for next year. Lottery numbers have been released and uploaded to eRezLife student profiles.

  • Step 2: Create your roommate PROFILE
  • Step 3: Form a roommate GROUP
  • Step 4: EXPLORE housing options available/eligible for your group
  • Step 5: SELECT your group assignment (April 1 – 5)
