Returning Student Room Selection Process Overview

The Returning Student Room Selection process allows rising 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th year residential undergraduate students to secure on-campus housing for the 2025-2026 academic year. This process includes two phases: Phase One – Contracting, held at the end of the Winter Quarter, and Phase Two – Room Selection, which occurs in the first few weeks of the Spring Quarter.

Review the NU Undergraduate Housing Contract Terms & Conditions for 2025-2026.

Residency Requirement

All rising 2^nd year students are required to complete both phases of the room selection process to meet the two-year residency requirement. Rising 3^rd and 4^th year students may complete the contract if they wish to live on campus again next year. All students planning to live in a fraternity, sorority, or Evans Scholars house only need to complete Phase One – Contracting.
