What should I know if I want to stay in the same hall for next year?

Students interested in staying in the same hall for the upcoming academic year will have first preference to secure a room in their current hall for next year. Renew to My Hall is NOT an option for students living in the Eastway area or students living in Stopher and Johnson Halls who are not admitted to the Honors College. The above areas are for new incoming students or for living-learning communities only.

There are changes in some residence halls with respect to student eligibility and process. Please read carefully, as some of these changes could affect you.
