Roommates and Housing Assignments

First-Year Students

• Incoming first-year students who attend Summer Gateways receive a Housing Request Form. Students who are unable to attend Summer Gateways will receive the Housing Request Form by mail or can request one via e-mail at reslife@holycross.edu. Please feel free to contact the Office of Residence Life with any questions.
  
• Incoming first-year students are randomly assigned a residence hall room and roommate(s) during the summer. All first- year students will be housed in Mulledy, Wheeler, Hanselman and Clark Halls.
  
• The Office of Residence Life will make an effort to honor all mutual roommate requests but can not guarantee any request or that there will be not three people assigned to the room.
• Students requiring handicapped accessible accommodations should contact the Associate Dean for Student Development, Dr. Neal Lipsitz at 508-793-3693 or nlipsitz@holycross.edu.
• Other questions regarding First-Year Student housing are addressed in our Frequently Asked Questions section.

Residential Programs

Students may apply to participate in the First-Year Program, which is housed exclusively in Hanselman Hall. In addition, students may apply for the substance free program, which has spaces in Clark Hall. Incoming first-year students can sign up for the First-Year Program or Substance Free Living at Summer Gateways. Students unable to attend Summer Gateways should contact the Registrar regarding applying for the First-Year Program, and the Office of Residence Life and Housing regarding participation in the Substance Free Living community.

Roommates and Housing Assignments

Notification regarding roommate(s) and housing assignments will be mailed to students by the end of July. Information will include your roommate's name, home address and telephone number so that you may contact him/ her prior to arriving on campus.

Upper Class Students

How are room assignments for upper class students made?
Currently enrolled students participate in a Housing Selection Process each spring. This process follows the rules and priorities listed below:

• Priority to juniors first, sophomores second and first-year students last.

A percentage of Mulledy, Wheeler, Clark, and all of Hanselman Hall is held for first-year students and not available in the Housing Selection Process.
