Residence Life & Housing

2026–2027 First-Year Student Housing

The housing application for newly admitted first year students for Fall 2026 is open! The application can be found at the My Housing Portal and students are encouraged to apply by the priority deadline on May 18, 2026 at 5 p.m. While the application will remain open after May 18, students will not be able to indicate room type interests, request roommates or apply to an LLC. 

Eligible students seeking a housing exemption to live off campus must complete a First Year Exemption Request in the My Housing Portal by May 18, instead of a housing application.

2026–2027 Transfer Student Housing

The 2026-2027 on-campus housing application for Fall 2026 transfer students (not admitted as a freshman) is available now in the My Housing Portal! Incoming transfer students are not required to live on-campus, but we encourage them to consider it as they plan to make their transition to UD. Transfer students who apply through June 30, 2026 are guaranteed on-campus housing for the upcoming year. Students applying after June 30 are not automatically guaranteed, but we will continue to review applications and email guarantee notifications on a rolling basis throughout the summer pending space availability.

2026–2027 Graduate Student Housing

The application for Graduate Student Housing for the 2026 - 2027 academic year is now open. Students can apply in their My Housing Portal. The priority deadline for the Graduate Student Housing Application is June 30, 2026.

2026 Summer Session Housing

The application for Summer Session 2026 housing is now open in the My Housing Portal! Summer Session housing can be requested by current undergraduate students at the Newark campus who are either taking at least one in-person summer session course or are an international student returning to UD next fall who is unable to travel home for the summer. We recommend applying by May 19 for the best consideration as space is limited.
