The beginning March marks the start of housing signups for current students at King! An email will be sent out from Residence Life for the entire month of March with the application link for students to begin the sign-up process for housing in the upcoming fall semester.
If you and your roommate want to keep your current room:
- Both of you will need to full out the housing application when it is sent out
- Mark that you would like to reserve your current room
- List each other as preferred roommates
If you want to move into a room with someone else who wants to stay in their current room:
- You and that person simply need to fill out the housing application
- Write down each other’s names as preferred roommates
- Whoever is moving into the room would be pulled into the room with their new roommate.
*If there is someone else who has already applied to reserve the room, then you and your new roommate would be automatically entered into the Housing Selection process, where you can pick a new room together.
If you want to select a new room:
- You and your preferred roommate will be able to select the room both of you would die to move into at our housing selection event. Details will be communicated via email.
Room Selection Events
Room Selection Events can happen over the course of 2-3 days. Each day is a different building or set of buildings.
The first night is for Designated Single Rooms, Hyde Hall, and Liston Suites. Hyde Hall is an extra $100 per semester. All Designated Single Rooms are an extra $200 per semester. Qualification and signups for these areas are based on classification (sophomore, junior, senior), Timestamp (when the initial application was submitted), and, if necessary, GPA.
Once these rooms have been filled, all following selection nights will proceed in the same order.
Please Note:
If you have NOT filled your housing application to reserve your room before selection begins, then your room will be considered available.
While they do not necessarily have to sign up with a roommate, students are highly encouraged to do so. Those who have a roommate will have first pick at rooms and those who do not choose a roommate will go after. Those who do not sign up with a roommate and do not get placed in a designated single room will receive a roommate and do not get placed in a designated single room will receive a roommate and may be moved into a different room. If necessary, over the summer, all changes in roommate status or physical room location will be communicated via email or housing letter.
If you would like to room with a new student who is coming in the Fall semester, then you must put their name on your Housing Application. They must also put your name on the housing form for new students. If they do not do this, you may not be placed together.
Both roommates are NOT required to be at the selection event, but are encouraged to be, as room changes are unlikely to occur after the event is over.
If your roommate decides not to live on campus or does not return the King, we reserve the right to change your Fall Housing Assignment. No exceptions will be made.
