Application Process Update
09/09/2024: To ensure a fair and transparent housing assignment process, Georgia Tech Housing and Residence Life will implement a lottery application process for current students. All current students who submit their application before the lottery deadline will be included in the lottery. Students will know if they have housing for the next academic year or if they are on the waitlist much earlier, so they have time to make more informed decisions. After the lottery deadline passes, any applicants will be placed on the waitlist in the order their contract was signed. This means that being among the first to apply does not guarantee a housing assignment.
