Room Assignment Process
The first step in the room assignment process is completing the housing application, which is available in mid February for current students. The next step is room selection, which is an online process where current students pick a specific room and roommates. Room selection is typically near the end of March and/or beginning of April.
Academic Village
To be eligible to select into the Academic Village, current students must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA and at least 150 Suitable points by spring break of that academic year. This does not guarantee you a bed in the Village, but it does make you eligible when your room selection date arrives.
Gender-Inclusive Housing
Students who opt into gender-inclusive housing are agreeing to be placed with other students who are seeking a similar accommodation, who they may or may not know. Students interested in gender-inclusive housing must complete the housing application and indicate interest in gender-inclusive housing on the housing application. Placement for gender-inclusive housing is an interactive process, so it is recommended students to submit their application and indicate interest as early as possible but no later than May 15, 2026 for the 2026-2027 academic year. Requests received after May 15, 2026 will be at a disadvantage for receiving a gender-inclusive assignment as spaces and/or roommates may not be available.
Mixed-Gender Housing
Mixed-gender housing (i.e. students who want to live with specific people of a different gender) is available in all locations via room selection. To select into a mixed-gender space, all roommates must consent to the living arrangement. Therefore, students must select a space during the fill-all times of room selection (i.e. when all bed spaces in the room must be filled by the group selecting).
Housing and Meal Accommodation Requests
Students that want to inquire about a specific housing or meal accommodation due to a medical condition must contact Disability Resources. It is highly recommended that requests be submitted by May 15, 2026 so they can be reviewed while space is available. Housing accommodation requests approved after this date will be placed as space permits. Students can contact Disability Resources at 724-836-7098 or los3@pitt.edu.
Updating the Application
You may update your application until you have been assigned a room by returning to the housing portal. Updating the application can only be completed prior to receiving a room assignment.
