It's time to start thinking about your housing options for the 2023-2024 academic year!
Although it may seem very early in the semester, many students have started making plans for housing for the 2023-2024 academic year. The flurry of activity can create stress and pressure for students to find the "perfect" housing solution. The University highly recommends that students do NOT rush into signing a lease or HFS Contract until fully understanding the difference between on- and off-campus housing options, costs, who you want to live with, and whether you are considering rushing Greek Life. There is plenty of housing options available, both on- and off-campus, although some of the most desirable/premium space may fill quickly. Please take your time to make a decision.
To help students and families understand the overall housing process and decision making factors, the University offers several ways to learn more about housing options for both on-campus and off-campus housing. The following options are available to learn more about housing:
- Housing Information Tabling (for both on- and off-campus housing)
- Housing Information Sessions, during Parents and Family Weekend (for both on- and off-campus housing)
- Housing Fairs, in-person and virtual (for both on- and off-campus housing)
- LiveOn Housing Information Webinars (for on-campus housing only)

The first few sessions will provide an overview of available housing options, while the remaining sessions will focus more on the LiveOn Housing Process and timeline.

LiveOn Housing Process Information
- Students interested in living in on-campus housing next year will need to participate in the LiveOn Housing Process during the advertised timeline.
- All students who Request Housing to live on campus will be invited to view available options and can live on campus
- Students who Request Housing are NOT obligated to live on campus - they may participate in the LiveOn Housing Process and view available housing options before making a decision. A student will only be obligated to LiveOn once a student has accepted a Housing and Food Service (HFS) Contract - then it's legally-binding and cannot be cancelled.
- Living Learning Communities (LLC): Any student who is currently assigned to a LLC that offers a return-to-living-environment (LLCs which are designated as "first-year" are not eligible) and would like to live in the LLC next year will follow the LLC Housing Process. A dedicated LiveOn Housing Information webinar is also available to review the process.
- Sorority Chapter Housing: students interested in rushing a Panhellenic Sorority Chapter are advised to NOT sign any lease or HFS Contract until they complete the recruitment process in the spring semester. Students will then be eligible to live in sorority chapter housing.
