Transitional Housing

With the demand for on campus housing, some students who submitted their housing applications in mid-June, or later, may be assigned to transitional housing.

Transitional housing is an assignment on a student floor in a location that is normally used as a study lounge but has been converted to house students. When this happens student room furniture is moved into the space and the door locks are reprogrammed as a student room, securing it to only the assigned residents.

Depending on the location size, two, three, or four students may be assigned to the converted space. It is difficult to project how long this temporary arrangement may last. As students cancel and inform University Housing of their intentions, residence hall spaces will open up in an ongoing basis during August and throughout the fall semester.

Our assignments team will monitor this process and work with students assigned to transitional spaces. Our hope is that if assigned to a transitional room, we are able to change your placement before move-in or very shortly thereafter. However, it is possible that your assignment in this space will last through the semester.

To better inform students of what to expect, photos of various converted transitional spaces are shown below.
