First Priority
Couples requesting one-bedroom apartments, families of three or four requesting two-bedroom apartments, and families of five or six requesting three-bedroom apartments have first priority for each of those apartment types. In any of these cases, applicants can be any age, but Family Housing requires proof of commitment/relation* in order to process the application. Also included in first priority are single applicants requesting a studio apartment. Eligibility documentation is required before a housing offer will be sent.
Second Priority
Single applicants requesting a one-bedroom apartment, a couple or family of two requesting a two-bedroom apartment, or a family of three or four requesting a three-bedroom apartment have second priority for each of those apartment types. Proof of a minimum age of 21 years and/or undergraduate junior status at the time of move-in for a single applicant as well as proof of commitment/relation for couples and families apply. Eligibility documentation is required before a housing offer will be sent.

Third Priority: If applicants want to live in Family Housing with someone not related, one person is required to be 21 years of age at the time of move-in or have a minimum of undergraduate junior status (60 credit hours completed) at the time of move-in but no proof of commitment/relation is required. Eligibility documentation is required before a housing offer will be sent.
