2024 – 2025 Housing
Returning, transfer, and new students are welcome to read housing application and room selection next steps for this academic year.
2024-2025 Housing Application & Room Selection
Students may access the housing application through the Housing Portal by logging in with their BenU email ([email protected]) and password. The 2024-2025 Housing Contract Campaign application and roommate selection begins via the Housing Portal on March 22.
The Housing Portal is the official online resident portal. The portal allows new and returning residential students to access and manage communication, housing applications, housing agreements, roommate requests, room selection, and assignment information. Residents are encouraged to become acquainted with the portal as it will serve as the “go-to place” for an on-campus resident.
Before completing a housing application or participating in the room selection process, please review the important information below.
