Housing Self-Selection

 Self-selection is a process for students to select their room for themselves and the members of their established roommate group. Self-selection is only available to continuing students for fall housing. New, transfer, and graduate students are assigned by the Residential Life Central Office. To be eligible for self-selection, students must complete their Fall housing application by the prescribed deadline. The deadline to participate in self-selection can be found on the Fall Housing Application webpage of the Residential Life website.

Students may review this PowerPoint or this webinar recording about the Spring 2026 self-selection process.

Step 1: Submit Housing Application by March 2, 2026.

Step 2: Register for Classes by March 20, 2026.

To remain eligible to participate in the housing selection process, you must be fully registered for classes by March 20, 2026. This includes:

• Meeting with your academic advisor
• Resolving any outstanding account balances
• Registering for the required number of credit hours:
  • Undergraduate students: Minimum of 12 credit hours
  • Graduate students: Minimum of 9 credit hours

Step 3: Housing Self-Selection (Week of March 30)

Housing self-selection will take place during the week of March 30, 2026.

During the week of March 23, you will receive an email with your assigned date and time to log into the Housing Portal and select your housing space if you completed Steps 1 and 2.

Please note that receiving a housing selection time does not guarantee an on-campus housing assignment. Housing spaces are limited and are allocated by student classification level. Students who are unable to select a space during self-selection will automatically be placed on the housing waitlist and notified if space becomes available.

Because on-campus housing is in high demand and space is limited, some students may be placed on a housing waitlist if housing spaces are filled during the selection process. For this reason, we strongly encourage students to begin exploring off-campus housing options now as a backup plan.

1. Log in to myHousing via myEOL.
2. Click "Select My Housing."
3. Add a roommate using your roommate’s NCCU email and Roommate Group Pin (if applicable).
4. Choose room and bed(s) for self/roommate group.
5. Choose a meal plan for self/roommate group.
6. Submit room and meal plan choices to complete self-selection.

Once a housing selection has been completed by the student or on behalf of the student by an established group member, it will not be changed until the room change process begins. Before housing selection, students should talk through which building(s) they want to be in. If a student does not feel comfortable with someone selecting a room on their behalf, they should remove themselves from the group. To make changes, students will have to submit a room change request. When completing a room change request, students will not be allowed to select roommates, and their assignments will be based on availability.
