We’re excited to share with you the 2021-22 housing signup process!
Sign-up between Jan. 20 at 8:30am and February 2 at 4:00pm (ET).
You will need to complete a contract through the Housing Portal prior to the deadline. This includes:
Changes to LLC and Roommate groups will not be possible after the deadline.
Priority Number
On February 4, you will be emailed a Priority Number. This randomly assigned number will determine the order in which you will be given the opportunity to select a space on campus. There will be separate priority lists for groups of 4, groups of 3, groups of 2, and singles and groups will only be able to select spaces with enough room for their whole group.
Room Selection
Room selection will take place starting on February 9-11 and then on a rolling basis as spaces for your roommate group size become available. You will be emailed a timeslot only when your priority number falls within the number of spaces available for your group size during a selection time. Only one person from your group will need to log in to select a space.
For example, if there are 100 four person apartments available in a selection time and you are in a group of 4 with a Priority Number between 1 and 100, you will receive a timeslot and be able to select a space. If your Priority Number is 101 or higher, you will not receive a timeslot until more spaces are available in another selection.
Timeline
On February 4, you will be emailed a Priority Number. This number will be randomly assigned within each roommate group size. This means there will be separate priority lists for groups of 4, groups of 3, groups of 2, and singles.
Since each group size will be limited to only spaces that will fit all members of the group (a group of 4 will only be able to select an apartment with 4 open spaces), groups of 4 will select first, then 3, then 2, and singles last. This allows apartments to be filled completely and provides the best chance for roommate groups to live together.
You will receive an email with a timeslot when your priority number is within the number of spaces available.
For example, if there are 100 four person apartments available in a selection time and you are in a group of 4 with a Priority Number between 1 and 100, you will receive a timeslot and be able to select a space. If your Priority Number is 101 or higher, you will not receive a timeslot until more spaces are available in another selection.
Please be sure that you are in contact with your house manager (if in a fraternity or sorority) or coach (if an athlete) about your plans for housing in the fall.
While sign-up would typically take place in the Fall semester, with the online start to classes, we knew many of you would still be settling into campus and would be unsure of your plans. We hope that waiting until the Spring semester gives you time to discuss your options with your family and friends over the break and be better prepared to make informed decisions about housing for next year.
Housing is only guaranteed for first year and Bridge to Clemson students. On campus housing is prioritized for new-to campus students with the goal of supporting them during their transition and ensuring their engagement and success during that critical first year. Continuing students are offered housing as available.
Your priority number is your place in line. If you do not get a timeslot to select housing in the first round of selection, you will just need to continue waiting in line. We will be doing a rolling selection process as spaces become available on Fridays between February 19 and May 14.
Starting February 19, we will issue Room Selection timeslots for Fridays based on the next priority number for space available for the group size and gender, if applicable. These timeslots will be emailed by Thursday at noon for students who will be able to select a space the next day. For example – there is a single space available in a 4-person apartment with three women, so we would issue the timeslot to the next priority number for a woman without roommates.
You will receive regular communications to let you know where we are in the priority numbers. For example, a student with a priority number of 80 in a group of 4 will be notified that we are currently at number 77 for the weekly Room Selection.
We anticipate additional spaces becoming available around the following times:
