Self-selection process

Living in an on-campus residence hall or furnished apartment for an academic year? You get to participate in a self-selection process where you pick your building and room! This process has a few simple steps that vary by class standing. Please check the timelines on this page to see important dates and deadlines that apply to you. After completing an application, make sure you regularly check your @wayne.edu email for reminders and next steps.
