Spring is (hopefully) just around the corner here on campus, and so is Housing Selection!
In this month’s newsletter, we’re covering reminders for Housing Selection, RA offers for the 2025-2026 Academic Year, and Spring Break reminders!
HOUSING SELECTION
Looking ahead, please make sure your rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors have completed their housing application (available to them via their @wfu.edu credentials on the housing portal at go.wfu.edu/housingportal) and are beginning to plan for housing selection. In completing their housing application:
Step 1: They are the able to form roommate groups. Encourage your students to be thoughtful in their roommate selection, diligent with their group communications, and mindful of housing expectations. This makes for a much smoother experience during housing selection
Step 2: Explore the communities available to choose from during Housing Selection. Your students will receive access to the Room Availability List via the Housing Portal starting April 11. Here, they will be able to see what’s available (including the number of beds needed to fill a space, as well as any spaces that are allocated for a specific sex) at the time of their selection. Only spaces that match the size of their roommate group will be visible.
Step 3: Selection will take place April 14-17. Encourage your students to explore our housing selection webpage which includes resources to help them understand the housing selection process. We also highly encourage students to attend one of our Housing Selection Information Sessions to learn more about the process with our Residence Life and Housing staff. We’ve included those dates below for your reference:
- Table Session: Tuesday, March 4 / 11AM-2PM / Benson, Outside the Food Court
- Table Session: Tuesday, March 25 / 4PM-5PM / Collins Lobby
- Table Session: Wednesday, March 26 / 4PM-5PM / Babcock Lobby
- Table Session: Thursday, March 27 / 4PM-5PM / South Lobby
- Table Session: Tuesday, April 8 / 11AM-2PM / Benson, Outside the Food Court
RA SELECTION
Students who participated in the RA recruitment cycle for the 2025-2026 school year will receive communications regarding offers 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.
SPRING BREAK
As Spring Break approaches (March 8-16), we encourage a visit to our Breaks and Inspections webpage which includes resources/tips for students leaving campus for the break. We hope everyone enjoys a restful break as we inch toward mid-terms!
Finally, if your student is returning for the 2025-2026 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.
