Priority Application Process
Continue your journey as a Pioneer in Student Housing and Residence Life!
We highly encourage our current residents to apply while the Priority Application is open as it grants priority over non-residents during this limited time. The application will open on Monday, February 20, 2023, and it will close on Thursday, March 16, 2023. The room assignment times will not be on a first-come-first-serve basis but instead randomly generated by our database, however, in an attempt to best manage the process in terms of room selection consolidation, priority may be assigned to those with larger roommate groups. Aside from the consolidation piece, all those who complete their contract during the Priority Application Process will have equal chances when it comes to room selection times regardless of when the application was submitted as long as it’s within the application timeframe.
