Housing Selection
Housing Selection Overview
We hold Housing Selection during the Spring Semester. In this process, students select on-campus housing, and a limited number of students may select off-campus housing. Students are assigned a housing classification based on how many semesters they have lived in on-campus housing post-high school graduation:
- Rising seniors (those who have lived in on-campus housing for at least 6 semesters) are classified as Returning- Senior Selection.
- Rising juniors (those who have lived in on-campus housing for at least 4 semesters) are classified as Returning- Apartment Eligible.
- Rising sophomores (those who have lived in on-campus housing for at least 2 semesters) are classified as Returning- Not Apartment Eligible.
We assign selection times for eligible participants according to housing classification; these times are randomly computer-assigned. Participants with earlier selection times may select housing before participants with later times.

Single Rooms
Saint John's has a limited number of single rooms available to students. Students interested in single rooms should sign up for the appropriate pre-selection waitlist. Students unable to select a single room should find a roommate or group but can sign up for a waitlist. Single rooms are not guaranteed to become available.
Please be advised that failure to select desired or preferred housing during the housing selection process does not warrant a release from the residency requirement.
