Hughes Hall is the primary residence for graduate students. Graduate Assistants receiving room waivers are assigned private rooms on the graduate floor. Graduate students not receiving an assistantship may select a single room in Hughes Hall or request an apartment. Requests for other residential facilities are also considered. For photos and details of all residence options, visit our Housing Facilities page.

Additionally, we offer three student houses. Each house features furnished single rooms with a twin bed, desk, and chair. Availability is limited, and requests can be submitted through the regular graduate housing application.

Even if your graduate school plans are not yet finalized, we encourage you to submit your Graduate Housing Application through the Housing Portal via single sign-on. Applications can be found under the “Applications and Forms” tab.

Assignments are made based on the date the application and deposit are received. We recommend applying and submitting your deposit early. Housing assignments are completed:

• Spring semester: Mid-December to early January
  
• Fall semester: Early June
  

Room information will initially be communicated via email, with updates available in the Housing Portal.

As a reminder the application process is not complete, until a $100 deposit is submitted.
