The process of securing your on-campus room assignment varies based upon your student classification and student type. The process for any student will begin on the Spelman Housing Dashboard. All students interested in living on campus for a full academic year will complete a Spelman housing application and sign the Spelman College Housing Lease.
Students who will be new, first-time students will need to complete a housing application by a May 1 deadline to be eligible to live on campus. After the deadline, admission status is verified. All new, first-time students with housing applications who have also accepted their admission and deposited with Spelman are eligible to participate in housing selection. Eligible students will be notified of the date and time that they may assign themselves for their first year at Spelman.
Spelman students who are already taking classes and wish to live on campus for an upcoming academic year will complete a housing application, sign the Spelman College Housing Lease and immediately assign themselves from among available rooms when housing selection is announced for them. This typically occurs in March of the spring semester.
Whether a student is a new student or continuing student, it is very important to communicate with any desired roommate/suitemate to coordinate room selection in the hopes that you may live together. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that every student will be able to live with a preferred roommate or in their preferred residence hall.
Spring Semester Assignment
Any student who wishes to live on campus beginning in a spring semester will complete a housing application expressing this interest. There is no guarantee that all requests can be met as available rooms for the spring semester are limited. Available space is dependent upon the number of students who cancel their assignment and move out of campus housing at the end of the fall semester. Housing applications for a spring semester assignment are typically available to students in the first week of November.
