As an on campus resident, you know first-hand that the experience you have here is incomparable. But did you also know that living on campus contributes to greater overall satisfaction and success in college? Studies have shown that students living on campus have higher GPAs than those living off campus and are more likely to graduate on time. On campus, you have access to trained staff around-the-clock, and save valuable time commuting that can be used to your academic and social advantage.
Return to Campus Living
Fall 2024-Spring 2025 Residents:
Return to Campus Living (RTCL) gives current residents an opportunity to select space before we begin assigning new incoming students, but does not guarantee on campus housing for the upcoming academic year.
We have set aside a limited amount of space specifically for those interested in returning to on-campus living for the 2025-26 academic year. RTCL is a lottery-based, appointment process for selecting an available space. A lottery appointment does not guarantee a housing assignment, but provides an opportunity to participate in the process. Our goal is to provide interested returning residents with an opportunity to live on campus if space is available while also meeting the increased need to provide housing for first-year students.
NOTE: If you’re currently living on campus and prefer to live on campus in 2025-2026, you should participate in RTCL beginning in January and continuing in February to have the first and best opportunity to secure a housing assignment for next year. If you do not participate in RTCL, please know you may not be able to live on campus next year, as space is limited and provided on a first come, first served basis.
