Apply for Fall/Spring 2025-2026 Housing!

New Application Process!

Please be aware the USF Housing & Residential Education is implementing a new housing application process for Fall/Spring 2025-2026 for both continuing and new students who want to live on campus. This means you do not need to apply on the day that the application opens to have your best chance of getting a space on campus. Housing applications will open in the Housing Portal on Tuesday, December 10.

fall/spring 2025-2026 Application timeline

Applications to live on campus for the Fall/Spring 2025-2026 semester will open in the Housing Portal on Tuesday, December 10, for continuing 深夜看片 students. To ensure all continuing students have an equal opportunity to secure on-campus housing, USF Housing and Residential Education has implemented an application deadline of January 28 for continuing students. Continuing students who apply between December 10 and January 28 will receive a randomized room selection timeslot that is not based on the day the student applied. Students who apply on December 10 will have the same opportunity to receive a spot on campus as a student who applies on the January 28 priority deadline, as room selection timeslots will be randomized for all students who apply between December 10 and January 28. To participate in room selection, continuing students MUST apply before the January 28 deadline. 

After January 28, the Fall/Spring 2025-2026 housing application will close to continuing students to allow the students who have applied to form roommate groups and go through the room selection process beginning on February 25. Randomized room selection time slots will be sent out to all continuing students who applied before the deadline on February 17.

Due to limited availability, once the room selection process is complete, the Fall/Spring 2025-2026 standby list will launch for continuing students who applied before the January 28 deadline.
