Housing Registration For New Students

Step 1. Pay your Enrollment Deposit

You may only sign up for housing after you have paid your enrollment deposit. Please contact your admission counselor to complete this step. We give preference to students who deposit prior to May 1, so get your deposit in as soon as possible.

Step 2. Complete the AU Housing Application

Housing Portal: Your Housing Portal will allow you to access the Housing Application and other important housing and dining information. You will need your AU email username and password to be able to log in to the Housing Portal. Once you log in, click on the applications tab at the top of the page and follow the link to the New Student Housing Agreement. Please keep the Housing Portal page bookmarked on your computer because you may need to access the page again to make changes to your application. You will also be able to view your housing assignment and roommate contact information here after assignments are completed. If you are unsure about your login information, please contact your admissions counselor.

Log in to your Housing Portal.

Roommate Matching: The roommate matching process will take place during the month of May.  During that time, you will use the Housing Portal to match with a roommate you already have in mind or search for a prospective roommate.  More information and instructions on roommate matching will be sent to you by email.

Housing Assignments: First year students will select their room during the month of June.  You will receive detailed instructions and a specific selection time by email.  We encourage you review the housing options available to first year students on our website. If you have specific questions about a particular building, please feel free to contact the Residence Life Office by phone or email.

We look forward to having you join our on-campus housing community! If you have any questions, please feel free to visit our Frequently Asked Questions page or contact the Residence Life Office.

What’s Next?

Once we receive your online Housing Agreement, we will begin the process of determining your room assignment. Room and roommate selections are prioritized according to when you submitted your Enrollment Deposit with the University. If you paid your deposit by May 1, you should receive housing assignments and roommate contact information by July 15.
