2019 – 2020 Academic Year

Applications for the 2019-2020 academic year open December 3. Apply early for the best chance of getting one of your top community preferences. Some of first-year residence halls fill with students who have applied for housing by February. For the best chance to get a spot in sophomore and above housing apply by January 15.

Application Process

Complete your 10-minute application. You’ll be asked to:

Electronically sign the academic year license agreement
Select your top 5 communities
Pay $50 nonrefundable application fee*
Pay $150 housing down payment*
Complete the Living Learning Program application (if you listed an LLP in your community requests)
Contact the Educational Access Center if you need accommodations
Check your BroncoMail frequently for important updates

*Your application is not complete until you’ve paid the application fee and housing down payment. If you are under 18 at the time of applying for housing, your parent or guardian will need to verify the application and acknowledgement of the license agreement. They’ll get an email with instructions on how to complete this verification.

Once we’ve received your application, we’ll get to work.

UPCOMING Academic Year

Improve your chances of getting your community request by doing the following:

First Year Students:

Apply early – housing is limited.

- List at least 5 communities you would like to live in (you can change your community requests on your application until April 1)
- Apply for a Living Learning Program (fall applicants only)

If you are applying before May, you’ll be assigned to a community first, then you’ll have a chance to find a roommate who has been assigned to the same community. We’ll provide your room assignment in June. Assignments are made on a first-come basis and we will first consider your community requests then your room/suite-type preference so take time to choose communities with room/suite-types that meet your budget and preference. Use the Bottom Line Estimator to help.

Sophomore and Above Students:

Apply early – housing is limited.

- Select your room out of available rooms – January 15 – March 29

If you apply before March 29, you’ll have a chance to pick a room out of remaining available Sophomore and Above rooms on campus. For the best chance to get a room apply early.
