The Housing Selection Process is for any student who is already taking classes at UNC and is interested in living on campus next year. If you are an incoming first-year or transfer student (i.e., have not yet arrived on campus) you will participate in a different process, outlined under the section Future Residents.
At Carolina Housing, October is typically the time of year when we begin the Housing Selection application process for the upcoming academic year.
The Housing Selection Process is for any student who is already taking classes at UNC and is interested in living on campus next year.
How It Works:
The application is open from Monday, October 11 and the priority deadline is Monday, November 8 at 11:59pm! Fill it out online through the My Housing Portal.
The 2022-2023 Housing Application will remain open after November 8th, however, to participate in Room Selection, you must complete your application by Monday, November 8 at 11:59pm.
Your room selection time slot is determined by your academic class. This is the "selection" part of the process, where you actually get to pick the room you want to live in for the following year. Currently, the Room Selection process will take place from November 10 - 17. Please keep checking our web site and social media for updates on the date/time for room selection by academic class.
The Housing Selection Process is not the only way you can sign up to live on-campus. If you miss the deadline, don't worry! You can still fill out a Housing application. It just means that you cannot participate in selecting your own room, because you will be assigned instead to one of the remaining available spaces at the time you apply. What are you waiting for?! LIVE ON CAMPUS!
