All traditional and suite style* beds are designated first-year beds and only released after new first-year and new transfer students are assigned. In addition, Housing and Residence Life reserves beds for new transfer and new grad students.

*Note that some suites may be available for non-first-year students during room swap at the end of summer. 

Current Georgia Tech Students apply for Housing in phases beginning in late January:  

1. Rising Second-Year Students 

2. All Current Residents + Rising Second-Year Students

3. All Currently Enrolled Georgia Tech Students

The waitlist is activated as soon as we reach capacity, at which point we will update the website and the application portal. A process to request “waitlist priority consideration” opens after the waitlist begins. 

Yes. Students who have an Academic Year 2022-2023 Housing Contract and cancel for spring to complete a verified co-op, internship, or study abroad are considered “current residents” and can begin applying when the application opens for current residents.

Any current undergraduate student is eligible to live in North Ave Apartments for AY 2024-2025. 

Students who complete a 2023-2024 housing application and are not on the waitlist have a space on campus. You can verify your application by logging in to My Housing and selecting “Application” from the menu.

Once the waitlist is activated, any student who applies will see the message in the application portal that they are applying for the 2023-2024 Housing Waitlist. Students should complete the application and sign their contract to be added to the waitlist. They will receive a waitlist number. Students who cancel off the waitlist do not pay a cancellation penalty. 

To view your up-to-date waitlist number, log onto your My Housing portal. You should be able to see your up-to-date number and watch it change here by following the steps below: 

• Click on Application in the gold bar at the top.
• Open the application term you want to see.
• Click on the "Application Summary" and your waitlist number will be at the top of that page. 

Students on the waitlist will have an opportunity to submit a request to receive priority consideration for available assignments. Possible reasons for priority consideration include financial need, campus housing required by a scholarship, or other mitigating factors. Students approved for priority consideration will be assigned as space becomes available from cancellations. Priority Waitlist Consideration approval does not guarantee an assignment.

Students on the waitlist should not expect to learn of any available assignments until July. They should consider alternate plans for fall housing.  

These processes are not impacted. All students with a completed application who are not on the waitlist will begin roommate selection in late February and the room self-assign process will begin in early March. Time-tickets for self-assign are issued in order of Georgia Tech credit hours (more credit hours = earlier self-assign time ticket). 

No. You will not be able to select from anyone who is on the waitlist during roommate selection.  

Students who live or want to live in their Learning Community upper-class block should apply for housing as soon as possible during their designated phase. You will be asked during the application process if you would like to live in the upper-class block with your Learning Community. Remember, during roommate selection, students who selected to live in their upper-class Learning Community blocks can only select from other LC members who have also selected the upper-class block.  

WST and I-House applicants who meet Learning Community application deadlines will be reviewed by Learning Community staff. Admitted Learning Community students who apply to Housing during their designated application phase will be assigned to their respective Learning Community. Learn more about applying to WST and I-House HERE. 

All rising-second year students will have the option to select the Second-Year Experience when they complete the Housing application. Students who successfully complete their Housing application by the self-assign deadline and are admitted to 2YE will have the opportunity to select a 2YE roommate and 2YE room only. Learn more about 2YE HERE.

WST and I-House – Students must complete a separate Learning Community application AND Housing Application. If a student is admitted to WST or I-House while on the Housing waitlist, they will be assigned to a space in the community immediately.   2YE and Upper-Class blocks for Explore, Global Leadership, Grand Challenges, Honors Program, and Impact – Students select to live with the community in the Housing application. If they are placed on the Housing waitlist, they will be assigned as space in their selected community becomes available.   

*Learning Communities include: 2YE, WST, I-House, Upper-Class Blocks for Explore, Global Leadership, Grand Challenges, Honors Program, and Impact  

Housing Fairs - Be on the lookout for information regarding the housing fairs in the fall and spring.

You should plan to sign up as soon as your designated phase opens. If you end up on the waitlist, you should complete the Waitlist Priority Consideration form that will be available later in the spring semester. 

Monthly Graduate Housing at Tenth and Home is not impacted by the application phasing.

Any student who applies to be a Resident Assistant and wants to live on campus even if they are not selected should apply for Housing during their designated application phase. Students who are not selected for an RA position are not automatically provided on-campus housing.  Remember, RA’s (for apartments) can pull in one roommate - that student must have a completed housing application. They cannot be on the waitlist.
