Room Selection Timeline 2025-26

  • Finalize your roommate pair. Pairs are not required but are helpful when selecting a double room or suite with someone you choose.
  • Make sure your application is complete by checking your status on the first page.
• By June 6: Room selection timeslots are assigned. An email notification containing your assigned room selection timeslot will be sent to your BSU email. Timeslots will be based on your application completion date.

Room selection is completed through your housing application in e-Services on a first-come, first-serve basis. Don’t delay signing up for your room when your timeslot window opens. More students are added as each timeslot starts. Students who complete their applications after the last timeslot on June 20 will automatically proceed to room selection. Online room selection will end on August 1. After this date, our office will begin assigning rooms randomly to those students who have not made a selection. View the Room Selection Guide!

You must have a complete housing application to select a room. You can check your application status by entering your fall housing application through e-Services in your MyBSU account. A complete housing application means you have made your $150 prepayment and signed the Terms of Agreement (contract).

After selecting your room through your application, you will choose a meal plan and indicate your bed loft preference.
