Deacon Place

The University is planning to complete a bit of work in the complex this summer. That work will include changing apartment doors, replacing all locks with University locks, replacing most carpet, painting all walls, and replacing some light fixtures. All furniture will remain as is, including the bedroom furniture. The only items being removed from the units are the garbage disposals and the televisions.

A limited number of spaces are available at Deacon Place for graduate student housing for the 2019-20 Academic Year. Initial offerings for these spaces are to current residents of Deacon Place and those who were on a waitlist for Deacon Place prior to Wake Forest purchasing the property. Based on availability, limited spaces may be offered to other graduate students. 

Graduate students interested in housing thru the University, at Deacon Place or otherwise, should contact Wake Forest Properties, who oversee graduate student housing. Learn more at properties.wfu.edu/graduate-housing/.

Currently, we are offering housing at Deacon Place for 2019-20 to the following groups:

1. Current WFU students residing at Deacon Place, or
2. WFU students who were on the Deacon Place wait list prior to the acquisition by the University.

Individuals who are not in one of those categories will have an opportunity to participate in Housing Selection (March 2019) to select from available spaces at Deacon Place. 

Our housing guarantee is for eight semesters, so our first priority is housing all students under that guarantee. However, based on space availability, students continuing into a fifth undergraduate year may be eligible for housing at Deacon Place or in other communities on campus. Please contact the Office of Residence Life and Housing during Spring 2019 to inquire about availability.  

The rate for Deacon Place for 2019-20 will be $11,498, billed as $5,749 per semester to student accounts.

Our housing selection is based on the number of semesters lived in on-campus housing. Seniors who have lived on with us for the previous six semesters would be the top priority group, with selection times being randomly assigned among that group.

Details are still being worked out at this time, however, we expect that the majority of the units at Deacon Place will be four-person blocks as this promotes a more positive living experience for all students involved. That said, students are encouraged to review the room availability list when released in the Spring 2019 Semester to see how Deacon Place will be allocated.

Students who have previously been released to live off campus must petition to change their status to back to ON CAMPUS if they wish to live on campus for the following year. Please note that this request does not guarantee a space at Deacon Place. 

To request a status change, please visit our Housing Portal and submit a Fall 2019 Housing Status Change Request.
