Single Room Applications

You will not be able to select these rooms during the room selection process. Be sure to sign up for a double or triple room while your housing accommodation request is being processed to ensure you have a space on campus. If you have already been approved for a medical single, you do not need to participate in room selection. A room that fits your accommodation will be assigned to you during the summer.

Students with approved single room accommodations for the next academic year who participate in room selection will not be assigned a single room.  Participating in room selection tells our staff you wish to forgo your single room and live with a roommate.
