How to Apply and Important Dates
2024-2025 ACADEMIC YEAR APPLICATION TIMELINE
Self-Elected Room Selection:
APPLY EARLY AND BY THE HOUSING PRIORITY DEADLINE to secure the best time slot for room selection. On your housing application, you’ll indicate your room preferences. Once submitted by the priority deadline (May 22nd for the Academic Year application and November 15th for Spring Semester Only application), CCA Housing will email you your assigned room selection time slot.
Room selection time slots are assigned based on:
- Accommodation Requests: Students with specific room needs for accessibility or disability accommodations.
- Student Status: Upperclass students not required to live on campus are prioritized over underclass students who must reside on campus.
- Application Submission: Priority is given by the date the application was completed and submitted, meaning earlier applications receive earlier timeslots.
During your assigned slot, you’ll have the opportunity to select a room based on current availability.
CCA-Elected Room Selection:
Applications submitted after the priority deadline are still accepted; however, CCA Housing will manually assign rooms based on current availability. Additionally, students who applied by the priority deadline but did not select a room during their assigned time slot will also be included in the CCA-elected room selection process and assigned a room by CCA Housing. While we will make every effort to match your indicated preferences from your housing application, specific room assignments cannot be guaranteed.

ROOMMATE GROUPING INSTRUCTIONS
Assignment Protocols
Students may request a roommate of their choice at the time of applying. Suite assignments will be prioritized for complete roommate groups (ex. Founders Hall 3 bedroom suite will be prioritized to a roommate group with 3 members, rather than 2 members). Please create your roommate groups based on the “first room type preference” selected on your housing application. You will be notified in advance if your roommate group is not approved for a multiple bedroom suite so you can adjust your roommate group accordingly.
Select a roommate (two ways)
- Roommate Grouping: is when you know a person with whom you wish to be roommates. You will need to share your roommate codes between members of your requested roommate group. Your roommate code can be seen at the top-right corner of any screen in your CCA housing account
- Profile Browsing: is for when you do not have a requested roommate in mind, but would like to have some autonomy in selecting a roommate for yourself. You can set search filters and message with or request potential roommates who you think will be a good fit based on their roommate matching questionnaire . All profile browsing is anonymous until a roommate invitation is sent
Request a Roommate:
- Go to the "roommates" tab
- Choose the upcoming term in the "choose a term" drop-down
- Select either "find someone you know" (roommate grouping) or "search resident profiles"
- Enter your roommate's roommate code, or search for a resident profile that meets your expectations
- Select "send invitation" to initiate a roommate request
- When the person accepts your request, you will see them as part of your roommate group on the right-side column of the roommate groups page.
Important: Roommate requests must be approved by all parties. All parties must have applied and be deposited (if applicable) before the priority application deadline. Roommate grouping requests are prioritized based on date of application submitted.
ACCESS & DISABILITY SERVICES
If you have an access or disability accommodation request please submit your request with the Access and Disability Services office as soon as possible. Starting the intake process early on will help college staff identify the best room type for you.
