Below you will find information about returning undergraduate student housing selection. Please be patient as we update this website. If you are a current undergraduate student who plans to return to campus housing next year, please feel free to contact us at 413-782-1317 or residencelife@wne.edu if you have any questions prior to the updates.
Housing selection will take place in The Housing Director (THD). Below you'll find a document that describes the room selection process in THD, step by step.
The link to THD can be found in your Connect2U, but the link to THD self-service is also below.
The Returning Undergraduate Student Housing Application closes at 11:59 p.m. on March 17, 2025. If you need to fill out a late Returning Undergraduate Student Housing Application, Residence Life will need to work with you to provide access to the application. Please email us at residencelife@wne.edu so that we can work with you on your late application request.
The first steps in returning student housing selection are completion of the Returning Undergraduate Student Housing Application in THD, followed by the $200 Housing Verification Payment. When you complete the application in THD, it will generate a charge for the Housing Verification Payment, which will show up on your student account the next day. You can then go pay the Housing Verification Payment through your Colleague self-service or at the bank at Enrollment Services. Applications will be available in THD starting on Friday, February 14, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. Applications and payments are due Monday, March 17, 2025. You can pay the Housing Verification Payment any time between when you complete your application and the March 17th deadline.
Please note: Student housing is assigned for the full academic year (or program period for international students), unless the student graduates or withdraws (voluntarily or involuntarily).
Priority for housing selection will be determined by class and by assigned random numbers. See below for the schedule of room selection times.

As part of housing selection, students must be part of a group that completely fills the room, suite, or apartment they are trying to select. Groups must have either two, four, or six people in order to be able to successfully select housing. In order to assist students with that requirement, the Office of Residence Life provides students with a number of ways to find roommates if they are having trouble finding a group or filling a group.
Speed Roommating events are taking place Tuesday, March 25, 2025 and Wednesday, April 2, 2025. Both events will be in the Student Hub at 5:30 pm.
In addition, there are QR codes available around campus and on the front door of the Residence Life Office. This will help you set up a roommate profile and help you find roommates via a Sharepoint website.
Returning students and graduate students can return to campus for Fall 2025 on Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24, 2025 between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. More details to come.

To the extent feasible, 麻花视频 University will provide housing and dining accommodations for students with documented disability diagnoses. Further information and instructions on how to apply for housing accommodations can be found on the Office of Student Accessibility Services website.
The Office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS) reviews each request for accommodations, determines the appropriate reasonable accommodation, and notifies the Office of Residence Life of the outcome. If approved, the Office of Residence Life will assign the student based on the SAS-approved accommodation. Residence Life staff will contact students via email once their housing assignments are made.
The Office of Residence Life recognizes that students of different genders may choose to share living space. With that in mind, the Office of Residence Life offers Mixed-Gender Housing, which allows students of different genders to share a suite or apartment with single gender bedrooms. In other words, a 2 bedroom apartment may consist of 2 women in one bedroom and 2 men in the other bedroom. In addition to the standard housing application, mixed-gender housing applicants must also complete the Mixed-Gender Agreement AND the Mixed-Gender Housing Application in THD. Please feel free to reach out to residencelife@wne.edu with any questions.
Gender-inclusive housing (GIH) allows students of all gender identities and expressions to choose to live together in a shared room, suite, or apartment. In addition to the standard housing application, gender-inclusive applicants must also complete the gender-inclusive housing application AND Ally Agreement.
We recognize that our online housing program only allows students to identify themselves as either male or female. As we recognize the need to support all forms of gender identity and expression in the residence halls, transgender and gender non-binary students are encouraged to contact us at residencelife@wne.edu or by phone at 413-782-1317 so that we can work with you on an individual basis to house you in an environment that supports your gender identity.
After room selection, some students will withdraw from housing or change rooms, which will create vacant spaces in upperclass housing. Over the course of the summer, the Office of Residence Life will fill these vacancies with returning students who have requested room changes, reactivated/readmitted students, and new transfer/international students. When a space in your room is filled by a new student, you will be notified via email.
If a space in your room becomes vacant, and you know someone who would like to move into that space, you may contact the Office of Residence Life via email at residencelife@wne.edu to request that person as a new roommate, and that person must also contact the Office of Residence Life to request a room change to your room. There is no guarantee that we will be able to grant those requests, but if the space is still available at the time we receive your request, we will certainly consider it. To see if there is a vacancy in your room at any time, you can simply check your THD Self-Service.
If you are withdrawing from housing or if you are moved to a new space because of a room change request, it is your responsibility to notify your former roommates of this change. It would be wise for roommates to stay in touch over the summer and check their THD Self-Service periodically if you are concerned that one or more of your roommates may withdraw from the room.
Vacancies that exist at the beginning of each semester may be filled at any time during the semester, as space is needed. While we will make every effort to inform students when they are getting a new roommate/suitemate, prior notice cannot always be guaranteed.
Please feel free to contact the Office of Residence Life at 413-782-1317 if you have any questions.
When you complete your housing application in THD, you will also be agreeing to the Resident Student Housing Agreement. THD will provide you with an opportunity to view the full agreement before you complete your application and will send you a copy of the Agreement. The 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 Housing Agreements are posted below. If you have any questions regarding the housing agreement, please feel free to contact us.
