How to Apply for Housing

For two days in June, incoming first-year students may select their rooms online.

  • Participating in the Online Room Selection is optional. Qualifying students who do not participate in the Online Room Selection will be assigned a room after the online process is complete.
  • Only students who have completed their housing agreement and paid their $600 deposit by the May 1 Priority Deadline will be allowed to participate in the Online Room Selection on June 12 and 13.
  • Students already assigned to a special residential community are NOT eligible to participate in this selection. These students will be notified by mid-June.

Important Dates

  • May 1 (rolling after this date) – Priority Deadline for Incoming First-Year Students. Applicants who complete their housing agreement, and pay their $600 deposit by May 1 will be allowed to participate in the Online Room Selection. Students can select another incoming first-year student to be their roommate. Selecting a roommate is optional and not required in order to select a room on June 12 and 13.
  • June 12-13 – Online Room Selection begins Thursday, June 12, at 10:00 am (ET) and lasts until Friday, June 13, at 6:00 pm.
  • Summer Applications: Any deposits and/or applications submitted after June 12 – 13 will be assigned by housing staff based on the application submitted and what spaces may be available at that time. We appreciate your patience through this process as we typically have a large amount of applications come through during the summer.
  • August 25 – First-year students will be scheduled to move-in on Thursday, August 22 between 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.

Room and Roommate Selection

The Housing Self-Service application for room and roommate selection is accessible via eCampus. Adelphi’s eCampus portal integrates the programs and applications that Adelphi students use every day. In order to select a roommate and a room online, you will need access to Adelphi’s eCampus portal.

Online Room Selection is a process whereby current Adelphi students may select a room for the following academic year.

  • Pay your Deposit: Pay your $300 non-refundable non-transferable housing deposit online through CLASS, by clicking “My Housing Deposit” in the menu. Alternatively, you may pay your deposit to the cashier located in the lower level of Levermore Hall before April 9th. Do NOT use the “Make a Payment” link.
  • Register for fall courses: Course registrations are made online through CLASS and should be completed by April 9th.
  • Submit your Housing Application:
    • Submit your housing application using “Housing Self-Service” on eCampus by April 10th.
    • Learn more about Special Residential Communities and find the living arrangements that work best for you
    • If you are applying for Gender Inclusive Housing, you must also sign our additional Gender Inclusive Housing Community Agreement. This additional agreement is intended to ensure all students who place themselves in this community all agree to the same expectations.
  • Room Selection Email: You will be notified via your Adelphi email if you qualify to participate in the Online Room Selection before April 12th.
  • Make Your Room Selection: The standard online room selection for students with roommates will take place on April 18-19.
  • Late Applications: Any deposits and/or applications submitted between April 12th and April 23rd will be eligible to select a room after all on time applicants have selected. Applications received after April 23rd will be assigned by housing staff based on the application submitted and what spaces may be available at that time. We appreciate your patience through this process as we typically have a large amount of applications come through during the summer

Already Know Who You Would Like to Room With?

  • Log in to eCampus and select “Housing Self-Service” tool from your available services
  • Click on “Room Selection” and select “Roommate/Suitemate”
  • Once the match is mutual between all roommates, you will see “Match” noted on the screen. Prior to this, they will be listed as pending.
  • Please note: You will not be able to choose an ineligible student as your roommate(s) or any student who has not submitted an application or housing deposit.

Don’t Have a Roommate?

If you would like to find a roommate, try the following:

  • Attend one of our Roommate Socials during an RA Floor Meeting
  • Use the Advanced Roommate Search feature of “Housing Self-Service” on eCampus
  • Students without matched roommates can select a room from April 22-23. This is the last chance to self-select a room on campus.

If you have been placed in a space and would like to change your room, please reach out to housing@adelphi.edu after July 1st to request a room change. All room selections are final prior to July 1st.

The Office of Residential Life and Housing has beds available for new graduate and transfer students. The dates for online room selection will be the same as first-year room selection, or returning student selection based on application dates. New graduate and transfer students will be able to apply for on-campus housing as soon as housing applications, housing deposits, and course registrations are complete.

In order to live on campus, you must apply for housing through your Housing Self-Service tool via eCampus.
