Winter Break Reminders for Families
The holiday season is here, and soon many of our Deacs will be making their way home. As we approach Winter Break, we want to share helpful reminders to support you and your student as they prepare for time away from campus and look ahead to the Spring 2026 semester.
Preparing for Break
Please encourage your student to check their Wake Forest email regularly. We’ve sent instructions outlining best practices for preparing their room before leaving for an extended break, including our helpful “3 P’s”:
- Pack what they need for the break and for a smooth return
- Plan ahead for travel and January move-in
- Protect their space and belongings before departure
Students must depart campus by 2 p.m. on December 14.
Students approved for Winter Break Housing have already received their housing assignment and information about on-campus resources available during the break.

During winter break, families can support their Deac by encouraging them to think through questions such as:
- Where would I prefer to live next year?
- What are realistic expectations based on my housing credits?
- Who do I want to live with—and is living with a best friend the best fit?
- Am I considering applying to be an RA?
- If I’m interested in studying abroad, when might that work best?
Our 2026–27 Housing Selection schedule for current students is available here, and our 2026–2027 planning dates can be found here.
Resident Adviser Position for 2026–27
If your student is seeking a meaningful leadership opportunity, we hope they will consider applying to be a Resident Adviser. RAs play an important role in creating supportive residential communities and receive:
- A $5,700 stipend for the ten-month position
- A single room at a discounted rate
Students can learn more and apply through their Housing Portal. Applications are due January 14, 2026.
We hope your Deac finishes the semester strong and enjoys a well-deserved and restful break. We look forward to welcoming them back to campus in January for a new semester filled with new experiences and opportunities.
Wishing your family a warm and joyful holiday season. Go Deacs!

January 2026 Parent & Family Newsletter
Happy New Year from Residence Life & Housing!
We hope your January is off to a great start and that your Deac is settling back into life in The Forest smoothly. As we begin the Spring 2026 semester, Residence Life and Housing is sharing important housing information and key dates to help students plan ahead—especially as we look toward Housing Selection for the 2026–27 academic year.
Housing Application is Now Open
The 2026–27 Housing Application opened on January 12 for current students and is the first required step in the housing selection process.
Through the application, students will:
- Update their student profile
- Confirm contact and emergency information
- Set privacy preferences
- Indicate housing intentions (on-campus or off-campus, if eligible)
We strongly encourage students to complete this step as soon as it opens, as it is required to move forward in the housing selection process and allows students time to think proactively about next steps.
Planning Ahead by Class Year
The application also helps students begin thinking intentionally about next year’s living plans based on residency requirements:
- Rising Sophomores
Begin exploring on-campus housing options and forming roommate groups. - Rising Juniors
Students interested in moving off-campus before completing the residency requirement may enter the Off-Campus Lottery through the application. - Rising Seniors
Seniors are required to complete their Senior Intent by February 1 to inform our office of their intentions to live on or off-campus.
Important reminder:
Students considering moving off-campus before senior year should not sign leases or finalize plans until Off-Campus Lottery outcomes are released by February 13, 2026.
Finally, the University continues to plan for the future of the residential experience. Stay tuned for an exciting announcement about expanded opportunities available in Fall 2027.
We’re Here to Help
Encourage students to approach housing decisions thoughtfully—whether that means:
- Submitting or updating a disability-related accommodation request
- Navigating off-campus housing options for the first time
- Planning ahead to meet upcoming deadlines
Our team is here to answer questions and support students through each step of the process.
For full details include an overall timeline, visit 2026–27 Housing Selection for Current Students.
This page will be updated throughout the Spring semester as new information becomes available.
Support for Current Housing
As students return to campus, we encourage them to remain attentive to their current housing experience. If concerns arise—such as roommate issues or changes in comfort or safety—students should reach out to their Community Director for guidance and support.
For full details on the room change process, visit our Room Changes website.
If a concern comes up—such as a maintenance or facility issue—students should submit a maintenance request online or by calling 336-758-4255. When submitting a request, please include as much detail as possible to help staff respond quickly and effectively.
If a student loses their key and needs a replacement, they should submit a lock recore request.
Spring 2026 Dates to Know
As you plan ahead, please note the following:
- Saturday, May 9: Last day of exams
- Sunday, May 10: Residential communities close at 2 p.m.
(for students not involved in commencement unless approved for Interim Housing) - Monday, May 18: Commencement
- Tuesday, May 18: Commencement
- Residential communities close at 9 a.m. for all students except those approved for continued Interim Housing
Opening and closing dates for the 2026–27 academic year are now live. We encourage students to consider flexible travel options when possible.

Planning Ahead: Housing Considerations for Fall 2026 Study Abroad Students
Dear Wake Forest Families,
We know you have received many communications from Wake Forest over the past week, given the snow and ice we have experienced, and we normally try to give your inboxes a break. However, we have a couple of upcoming housing-related processes your students will experience, and we want to ensure families are well informed about them.
As we hope you know, Wake Forest has a long-standing commitment to global education, with more than 80% of students participating in study abroad or study away programs in recent years. As families begin planning for Fall 2026 study abroad, we want to share important information about housing considerations for students who may return to campus in Spring 2027.
We know housing decisions can feel stressful, particularly when a student is away from campus. We are sharing this information early, so families and students can plan thoughtfully and avoid last-minute decisions.
Why Housing Requires Early Planning
Each year, many juniors choose to study abroad during the fall semester. While this is an exciting and valuable experience, it also means many students return to campus at the same time in the spring.
Residence Life and Housing works diligently to support students who remain under Wake Forest’s six-semester residency requirement, while on-campus housing availability for Spring 2027 will be limited. As a result:
- Not all students returning from abroad will be able to live on campus
- Roommate choice cannot be guaranteed
- Many students choose to live off campus after returning from a semester abroad
To help manage demand fairly, Wake Forest offers an Off-Campus Lottery, a long-standing process that allows eligible students to request a release from the residency requirement.
Important for families: Students should not sign an off-campus lease unless they have received written confirmation from Residence Life and Housing that they have been released from the residency requirement.
What Happens While Your Student Is Abroad
Students studying abroad in Fall 2026 will hear directly from Residence Life and Housing beginning in October 2026. At that time, students will submit a Spring Intent Form indicating whether they plan to:
- Return to campus housing
- Remain abroad
- Request to live off campus
Based on these responses, Residence Life and Housing will guide students through the appropriate next steps, whether that is spring housing selection or the Off-Campus Lottery.
At this time, no action is required from families or students who plan to return to on-campus housing for Spring 2027.
Key Dates for Families to Be Aware Of
February 1, 2026
Students may apply for the first phase of the Off-Campus Lottery for Spring 2027.
- Decisions are shared by February 13
- Students studying abroad may also choose to apply during a second phase in October 2026
March 31, 2026
Deadline to withdraw from Fall 2026 study abroad if a student wishes to participate in the 2026–27 Housing Selection process in April.
October 2026
Residence Life and Housing opens the Spring Intent process for all students, including those studying abroad.
December 2026
Spring-Only Housing Selection takes place for students returning from Fall 2026 study abroad.
On-Campus Housing Options for Spring 2027
- A newly-renovated Babcock Hall will reopen in January 2027, providing just over 200 beds for students returning from abroad
- Additional housing across campus will be very limited
- Students returning from abroad are often placed in rooms with available space, which may include roommates they did not select or previously know
Understanding the Off-Campus Option
Residence Life and Housing recognizes that students’ living preferences may change after studying abroad. The Off-Campus Lottery supports these evolving needs and has been part of Wake Forest’s housing system for many years.
Families are encouraged to talk with their students about both on-campus and off-campus possibilities so decisions are not made while the student is overseas.
Common Family Questions
Will Wake Forest require my student to live off campus before completing the residency requirement?
The University works closely across departments to house all students who are still under the residency requirement and wish to live on campus. While spring housing availability is limited, Wake Forest has historically met this obligation.
To date, RLH has been able to house everyone, even during spring semesters. On-campus inventory (which can be low) has historically been offset by a high proportion of juniors wanting to live off campus upon returning from abroad.
Why does the University say many returning students should not expect on-campus housing?
In recent years, approximately 800 students have studied abroad during the fall semester. Historically, many of those students have preferred to live off campus when they return to Winston-Salem, and RLH accounts for that in our occupancy planning. We share this information early so families and students can plan with clarity whether to apply to the off-campus lottery, and they have more time to secure housing.
How do costs differ if my student lives off campus?
- Students living off campus are not charged for on-campus housing
- Meal plans are optional for off-campus students
- Financial aid generally does not change. Families with questions should contact:
- Student Financial Aid: finaid@wfu.edu | 336.758.5154
- Scholars Office (for scholarship residency requirements): wfscholars@wfu.edu | 336.758.4497
We appreciate your partnership as we support students in pursuing meaningful global experiences and in carefully planning their return to campus. Please encourage your student to review messages from Residence Life and Housing and to reach out to them at housing@wfu.edu with questions as they arise.
Best –

February 2026 Parent & Family Newsletter
Spring is (hopefully) just around the corner here on campus, and so is Housing Selection!
In this month’s newsletter, we’re covering Housing Selection, RA offers for the 2026-27 Academic Year, and preparing for Spring Break.
HOUSING SELECTION
At this point, Rising Juniors and Rising Seniors have been notified of the outcome of their housing lottery entry for either the On-Campus or Off-Campus Lottery. We recognize that these results may bring a range of emotions for students and families. Please know that our office is here to help—students are encouraged to contact us directly with any questions (housing@wfu.edu) or if they would like support in understanding their options and next steps.
For students living on campus for the 2026–27 Academic Year:
The next important step is to form and finalize roommate groups. As students explore suite and apartment options within their assigned residential communities, they should work toward creating groups that fill an entire suite. Our Academic-Year Housing Selection is suite-based, meaning students may only select housing options that match the size of their finalized group. Click here to learn more about housing availability by class year.
For students living off campus for 2026–27:
The next step is to begin securing off-campus housing. Students can view approved properties through the Off-Campus Housing Marketplace. When reviewing options, they should carefully consider lease lengths (12-, 18-, or 24-month) and select the option that best aligns with their circumstances.
For students studying abroad during Fall 2026 and returning to on-campus for Spring 2027:
Students should ensure they have signed their Study Abroad Agreement in the Housing Portal. No additional action is required at this time. Our office will begin sharing information about the Spring-Only Housing Selection process in October. Please note that if a student decides not to study abroad, they must notify the Center for Global Programs & Studies by March 31 in order to be eligible for Academic Year Housing Selection in April.
As always, we appreciate your partnership and are committed to supporting students through each step of the housing selection process.
RESIDENT ADVISER SELECTION
Students who participated in RA recruitment for the 2026-2027 school year will receive communication regarding hiring decisions by the end of February. With a record number of exceptional applicants this year, we could not be more excited about the student leadership that will be present in our communities next year.
While we recognize and appreciate your support for your student, please understand that we cannot discuss employment decisions with anyone other than the applicant. If you’d like to understand more about the selection process, please visit our student employment webpage.
SPRING BREAK
As Spring Break (March 7-15) approaches, we encourage you to review our Breaks and Inspections webpage, which includes resources/tips for students leaving campus for the break. Our residential communities will remain open during this time.
Finally, if your student is returning for the 2026-27 school year, we’re linking our Opening and Closing Dates here. Please reference these dates as you plan your travel for the upcoming year.
Have any questions? We’re available during the week at 336.758.5185 and via email at housing@wfu.edu.
Senior Housing
Wake Forest remains deeply committed to a vibrant, residential undergraduate experience. As the University pursues a modest, phased increase in undergraduate enrollment, demand for campus housing has grown. At the same time, planned renovations — including work at Babcock Hall — will slightly reduce overall housing capacity for the coming year.
While we strive to provide on-campus housing for students who wish to remain on campus, we must prioritize those who are still required to meet the University’s residency requirement.
Senior Housing Demand and Lottery Process
To better anticipate demand, Residence Life and Housing asked rising seniors to indicate their housing plans for the 2026–27 academic year. More than 375 rising seniors shared that they intended to live on campus.
In early communications beginning in December 2025, we informed students that increased enrollment, strong demand for campus housing, and planned renovations could limit our ability to accommodate every senior who wished to remain on campus. We also shared that an On-Campus Housing Lottery would be used if necessary.
Through that process:
- Fewer than 75 seniors were not granted on-campus status
- Those students have been placed on a waitlist, should space become available.
- Seniors with scholarships requiring on-campus residency were confirmed in collaboration with the Scholars Office and factored into housing considerations.
Students’ interest in remaining on campus after completing their residency requirement varies year to year. Depending on demand and capacity, we may need to continue using a senior housing lottery process in future years.
Enrollment and Capacity
Residence Life and Housing works closely with partners across the University to inform enrollment decisions and ensure that the residential experience remains central to Wake Forest. Planned enrollment growth is balanced alongside residence hall renovations and improvements to maximize housing for students required to live on campus.
For the upcoming year, increased enrollment, strong demand for campus housing, and planned renovations limited our ability to provide housing for all students who want it. The newly announced affiliate housing program will help us expand pathways for students to experience a dynamic residential experience, both on- and off-campus.
Supporting Students Transitioning Off Campus
We understand that seniors who were not granted on-campus housing may feel stress, particularly given the timing of the off-campus housing market. Housing plays an important role in students’ sense of stability and belonging, and we recognize that this outcome may feel disappointing or personal.
We recognize that some students sign off-campus leases as early as the fall of sophomore year, while others’ timelines vary based on individual circumstances. We remain committed to providing guidance and resources to seniors as they navigate next steps. Our focus is on supporting affected students in clear and practical ways:
- Housing Search Support: We partner with College Pads to assist students in identifying off-campus options and maintain regular communication with local landlords to monitor availability. While options may not reflect every student’s first choice, we remain confident that housing is available in the Winston-Salem market.
- Financial Guidance: Students should contact Financial Aid to understand how living off campus may impact their aid package. Students with immediate expenses, such as application fees, who need assistance should contact CARE Case Management in the Dean of Students’ office to explore available support.
- Transportation: Students without vehicles are encouraged to consider off-campus housing served by the Wake Line. Residence Life and Housing will remain in close communication with Parking & Transportation as off-campus student concentrations become clearer, so they can evaluate routes for potential modifications.
Looking Ahead
Historically, Residence Life and Housing has accommodated most seniors who wished to remain on campus. However, circumstances have shifted in recent years, and we have communicated transparently that our capacity to house students who have completed the residency requirement would be more constrained.
Even with advanced communication, we recognize that outcomes can feel unexpected or upsetting. Our responsibility now is to move forward with transparency and care—listening to student concerns, improving how we communicate expectations, and supporting seniors throughout the housing process.
We are also actively expanding pathways to fulfill the residency requirement through the Affiliate Housing program launching in Fall 2027. By offering junior-year options at student-centered private properties, we aim to increase flexibility and expand our capacity to house seniors who wish to remain on campus in future years.
As space becomes available, we will continue to move students off the Return to Housing waitlist.
Wake Forest remains committed to ensuring that every senior has the information, resources, and support needed to make a confident housing plan for their final year.
