HOUSING ASSIGNMENTS

ACCESS YOUR HOUSING APPLICATION

• New resident students admitted to the University will be able to access, complete and submit the online First-Year Housing Application in early May. 

HOUSING ASSIGNMENTS

First-year residents may not request a specific building or type of room.

• New residents are assigned housing and roommates based on gender, enrollment in designated Learning Communities or Special Interest Housing Options.
• Everyone who submits their housing application by the May 31 deadeline will be given equal opportunity and are randomly allocated in our system for their housing assignment. Early Decision (ED1) or (ED2) are not factors for housing assignment placements. 
• First-year residents have the option of requesting one or two preferred roommates. 
  • Students requesting to live with two preferred roommates should note that space in standard triples are limited and Residence Life may not be able to accommodate all requests.

ROOMMATE ASSIGNMENTS

Selection of a preferred roommate(s) is optional. This process is for students who have someone they know or have met in person with whom they would like to live.

• Your preferred roommate(s) must have been admitted to the University as a Resident Student and have paid their Admissions Deposit.
• Residence Life will make a reasonable effort to accommodate requests to be assigned with a particular roommate if interest in sharing a room is mutual and each resident has designated the other as a preferred roommate when completing the Housing Application.

Please note: Roommate Selection begins on Monday, May 13. Requests received after Friday, May 31 may not be honored.

• Housing assignments for preferred roommates will be based on the earliest date of housing application submission of the two or three roommates.
• If a student wishes to add a preferred roommate(s) after submitting their housing application, they may edit their Housing Application in the Housing Portal until May 31.

First-year housing assignments and roommate information will be available during the last week of July. Students will receive an email to their villanova.edu address when housing assignments are available.

APPLYING TO COMMUNITAS

Students will have the opportunity to express interest in participating in the Communitas Learning Community and apply to a theme as part of the Housing Application.

HOUSING ACCOMMODATION REQUESTS

All housing accommodation requests must be filed directly through the Office of Disability Services. For incoming first-year students, the deadline to file for accommodations is June 15.

• For additional information regarding housing accommodations, please visit the Office of Disability Services website.

UNITAS HOUSING ASSIGNMENTS
Consistent with our Augustinian mission and values, Villanova seeks to be a welcoming and inclusive community that respects all its members. We acknowledge the sacredness of each human person and want every student to feel comfortable and welcome in their housing assignment. The Office of Residence Life is committed to finding a housing assignment that is comfortable for each student and that creates caring, respectful communities in the residence halls where students can experience a sense of belonging.

A Unitas Housing Assignment provides housing opportunities that consider gender identity and expression. You will have the option to select, or be assigned to, a personalized housing assignment that supports your gender identity and expression. All residents are eligible to request a Unitas Housing Assignment in the Housing Application.
