Housing Selection 2021-2022
Details for housing selection for the 2021-2022 academic school year will be available soon. Read below for an outline of the dates and processes.
Housing Selection is a process for continuing students to select their housing for the upcoming year. Students who are interested in living on campus should start planning now by reviewing the various housing options Puget Sound has to offer. Students can expect an email with more information and details on housing selection in February.
Several housing options are available for students to consider, with five primary ways to secure a space on campus.
Read more about the housing types we have available for continuing students.
The Housing Contract is electronic and must be accessed through myPugetSound to formally accept and complete. The housing contract and all terms and conditions set forth are binding for the entire academic year upon selecting a housing assignment. This contract applies to all student residents of university-owned facilities.
Students will need to electronically sign their Housing Contract prior to selecting housing.
Homesteading refers to the process of selecting the same housing assignment for the subsequent year. Current first-years are not able to homestead in a first-year building. Someone homesteading may request to “pull-in” up to 5 people to their campus house or suite. In Thomas Hall, homesteading is only available in unaffiliated flats and rising juniors and seniors. Apply using Homestead Application.
Theme houses and flats are not eligible for homesteading. Current residents living in a theme houses who wish to return must work with Residence Life to commit to a space by February 14. Depending on the theme house, there may be additional application materials necessary to secure a space in a theme house. Emails with further information will be sent to current theme houses during the first week of February.
Group of rising juniors and seniors (current sophomores, juniors and seniors) can apply to live in a house, flat, or suite using the Upper Division Group Application.

Groups applications will be reviewed by Residence Life and selected for a specific location that meets the needs of that group. Housing is co-ed by room, and unless specifically requested and approved by Residence Life, students assigned to a double room must be of the same gender. Students interested in a single-gender living community (i.e. suite or house) may indicate this preference on their group housing application.
Residence Life is only able to support and sponsor a limited number of rising sophomores for group registration before housing inventory is opened up to all students. The group process can be competitive and is not guaranteed.
Group applications will be available mid-March. Check back soon for more information!
