Class Year Selection Order

1. Current and Rising Seniors
2. Rising Juniors
3. Rising Sophomores

Housing selection times are determined by completed and earned credits as determined by the Registrar’s Office.  Currently registered credits or any transfer credits not received and posted by the Office of the Registrar, nor future planned credits, are not factored into class standing.  Students are able to check their class standing by logging into Student Planning, click My Progress, then view your completed credits on Student Planning on “Total Credits Bar” in the “At a Glance” section of the “My Progress” page on Student Planning.  No other criteria is used to determine housing selection priority.  GPA, athletic or student involvement, employment history, financial history, or previous housing assignments are not considered though student conduct history could impact housing selection options or eligibility.

To determine priority for roommate groups with students of different class years”

• Students are assigned a housing selection number based on class year
• Housing Selection numbers are averaged across roommate groups
• Groups with the same average are randomized into a selection order

Group versus Individual Selection

• Fully matched roommate groups will be able to choose available apartments or bedrooms before individual selection.  Roommate Groups must be the same size of the space that they are trying to fill (i.e., only a group of 4 can choose a 4 person apartment, a group of 3 can choose a triple, and a group 2 can choose a double)
• Students without roommate groups will be able to select individual beds in available bedrooms based on available inventory after roommate groups select rooms.  If individual students are unable to select housing during selection due to a lack of inventory, those students will be able to state building and room type preferences and will be placed into housing over the summer as space becomes available.

• Students must complete the housing application before they can be requested as a roommate.
• Roommate requests must be mutual. Once a request has been made, the student being requested must either accept or decline the request in the Housing Portal. Unmatched groups will have an impact on your ability to go through the process.
• Roommate must be current actively enrolled students.  Incoming freshmen and transfer students, and students currently on leave from the college, are not eligible to be chosen as roommates.
• Roommates living in the same bedroom must be the same gender.  
  • Opposite genders are permitted in St. Julie Hall as long as separate bedrooms are assigned.  Please contact reslife2 [at] emmanuel.edu (reslife2[at]emmanuel[dot]edu) to request an apartment with opposite gender bedrooms.
• Roommate Groups must be the same size of the space that they are trying to fill (i.e., only a group of 4 can choose a 4 person apartment, a group of 3 can choose a triple, and a group 2 can choose a double)

Students will have the ability to change roommate groups during the selection process to account for rooms they were unable to select (i.e., a group of 4 who cannot select an apartment can break into two groups of 2 to select doubles in St. Joeseph Hall or Notre Dame Campus)

• Students will receive a housing lottery time which is your assigned time to choose your room on a given selection night in the housing portal. Students are assigned times in designated intervals (typically 1-5 minutes between groups; however, once your assigned time comes you have until the end of the lottery to choose your housing for next year.
• Though all students in a group will receive the same selection time, only one student in a roommate group must sign in to select a room.
• If a roommate group is unable to choose housing during a lottery due to a lack of inventory, an opportunity will be provided to rearrange into new roommate groups to choose housing in a subsequent lottery (i.e. a 4 person group unable to choose a St. Julie Hall apartment will be able to split into two groups of 2 to choose doubles in St. Joseph Hall).
• While rare, it is possible that housing deposits will surpass available inventory.  In these instances, any student unable to choose housing due to a lack of housing inventory will be given the opportunity to designate housing preferences for the fall semester. Residence Life will place students into housing over the summer and will try to fulfill preferences, when possible, but preferences cannot be guaranteed.
