| Please Note | Students can apply only for two communities on their own. If you want to apply to more than two communities, please contact the additional communities you are interested in so they can apply for you.

When it’s time for you to select your room in the next phase, you will be able to view and select rooms within the designated community space in the community’s residence hall.
