2023-2024 Sophomore Room Selection Information
As a reminder, there is a residency requirement for sophomores, unless they receive a residency exception. You can access the residency exception form via eCampus, in your housing portal. You must complete a housing application prior to applying for a residency exception. As a reminder, the Sophomore Housing Application closes on March 10, 2023 and the Sophomore Residency Exception does not open until March 15, 2023.
This page outlines the sophomore room selection process. Read thoroughly! Look at the charts below for helpful information! View the entire Room Selection schedule! Review the Room Selection tutorial video!
- The week of April 12th 2023, you will receive your room selection email from housing@scu.edu.
- The order in which groups/individuals go through room selection, is determined by the lottery number randomly assigned to each applicant. Groups will have their lottery numbers averaged to assign their room selection date and time.
- All Groups and Individuals will have the same priority when assigned for room selection. Groups and Individuals returning to their RLC will select first in their respective RLC. As a reminder, in order to be considered a returner, all members of the group must be returning to their current (academic year 2022-2023) RLC/building.
- Groups and Individuals who are non-returners will select their space during the Open Room Selection process, which will show all spaces available across campus. We will not make any changes to applications after February 24, 2023.
- You will be able to view floor plans and prepare for your room selection appointment via your 2023-2024 housing application (Rooms tab). This will allow you and your group members to see available spaces, occupancy, and configurations prior to your room selection date. Note, the availability of rooms you see will change as students with earlier room selection appointments select their spaces.
- If your desired space is not available (e.g. has already been reserved), it is imperative that you pick any space available to ensure you have a place to live. If you are unhappy with the space you selected, you can add yourself to the room change waiting list. As a reminder, you may cancel your 2023-2024 application and receive a deposit refund until May 1, 2023.
- If you are a non-returning group/individual, you will see all available spaces for 2023-2024 Sophomore students that have not been reserved by students who returned to their communities. If your desired space is not available (e.g. has already been reserved), it is imperative that you pick any space available to ensure you have a place to live. If you are unhappy with the space you selected, you can add yourself to the room change waiting list. If you are wanting to add yourself to a waitlist be on the lookout for further communication from our office which will go out the week of May 22nd. As a reminder, you may cancel your 2023-2024 application and receive a deposit refund until May 1, 2023
- You will have a limited amount of time to select a space before additional students log on. For this reason, it is important that you select a space during your designated time.
- If you are part of a group, any confirmed group member can select your space during the room selection appointment. In the event you would like to separate from the group you originally signed up with or there is not a space that can accommodate all group members, each individual within the group has the ability to place themselves in a different space during the room selection appointment.
- Contact housing@scu.edu if you have any questions.
