Housing Selection

2024/25 Academic Year

The Housing Selection process takes place in the spring for the upcoming academic year. In order to participate in Housing Selection, students must submit a Housing Application, and, if desired, form Roommate Groups. Please see below for more details about this year’s process.

All Class of 2027 students must reside on campus or be approved for Commuter Status (commuting from the home of a parent or guardian).

Class of 2026 students must reside on campus or be approved for Commuter Status (commuting from the home of a parent or guardian) unless they have received permission from the Office of Residence Life to reside off campus. Students should not sign leases unless they have been approved by the Office of Residence Life & Housing to live off campus.

Students who have been approved for Fall or Spring Study Abroad do take part in Housing Selection in different processes. Only Abroad Spring students are to fill out an application for Housing Selection. Abroad Fall students contact Kevin Hillery at khillery@providence.edu for spring semester placement and group matching. Click here for more information about Study Abroad.

Requests for Residential Accommodations​ should be submitted on time for full consideration. More information is available on the Residential Accommodations page.
