FYSA Housing

Welcome Yellow Jackets! We can't wait for you to join us this summer. Below you'll find all the information you need regarding your FYSA housing for Summer 2026. All FYSA students will live in Hefner or Armstrong Residence Hall. You can visit our Housing Options page to take a virtual tour and get to know your summer home.
FYSA Housing Application

Apply for FYSA Summer and Spring Housing by logging into My Housing. 

  • Summer 2026: Select “2026 Summer” from the term selector page. You will be assigned to room in Hefner or Armstrong Residence Hall. Housing rates can be found on the Housing Rates page.
  • Spring 2027: Beginning on May 6, FYSA students will have the opportunity to apply for Spring 2027 housing. Housing rates can be found on the Housing Rates page. FYSA students must apply by June 8 to reserve a room in Woodruff North Residence Hall.  After June 8, any FYSA student that applies for Spring will be eligible for Spring housing but not necessarily with their roommates or in Woodruff North.
How to Apply for Housing
FYSA Roommate Search
  • Summer 2026: Roommate Search for FYSA students will begin May 5 and must be completed by June 8. Once Summer assignments are completed students will be emailed their assignments and roommate.
Move-In Day
Monday, July 13
  • Students must sign up for a move-in appointment.
  • Move-out is August 8. All students are required to move-out of their FYSA summer housing on August 8, so pack light!
  • Summer Housing: All FYSA students will live together in Hefner or Armstrong Residence Hall for the summer.

Day of Move-in:

  • Before you depart for campus, review the map of how to get to campus and find check-in.
  • Plan to arrive at check-in at the time of your move-in appointment. It is extremely important to arrive on time to prevent delays heading to your visa appointment. To be on time for your visa appointment, you must be checked into your housing assignment by 2:00 p.m.
  • Once your belongings are in your room, you have options:
    • If you plan to visit local stores to stock up on your needs, know that you will not be able to return to your unloading zone until after 6 p.m. You will need to go back to your long term parking area.
    • If needed, submit a facilities request for repairs in your space, bed lofting requests, etc.

Connect with your RA about your first floor meeting and other welcome activities.

FYSA Housing FAQs
What do I do if I already applied for housing for the Late Short Summer with Ignite or the Academic Year?

You can cancel your Late Short Summer and/or Academic Year Housing Contract penalty free by logging into My Housing and selecting “Cancel My Housing” from the RESOURCES tab. You will need to ensure you have applied for FYSA 2026 Summer Housing.

You will not need to pay the $80 application fee again.

Why don't I see the 2026 FYSA Summer or 2027 Spring application on the Term Selector page?

You must cancel any other Summer or Academic Year contracts to see the 2026 FYSA Summer or 2027 Spring application on the Term Selector page.

You must accept your FYSA invitation from your admission portal to see 2026 FYSA Summer or 2027 Spring application on the Term Selector page. It can take up to 24 hours to update My Housing from the time you accept your invitation in your admission portal.

Why can't I select my room?

Both summer and spring FYSA housing is very limited, so you can select your roommate, but the Housing and Residence Life Assignments Team will assign you to your room.

If you need special accommodations, please register with the Office of Disability services.

Arrival Logistics
Arriving by car?
  • Look for signage directing you to FYSA Check-In and Unloading.
  • Volunteers will direct you to the unloading zones.
  • Incoming resident will need a valid photo ID to check-in while family and friends unload the car.
  • A driver will need to stay with your vehicle(s) during the unloading process.
  • You will have 20 minutes to unload your car.
  • As soon as your belongings are out of your vehicle(s), you will need to move to long term parking.
  • To avoid unnecessary traffic in unloading zones, any passenger-only vehicles should skip the check-in process and go directly to long term parking before joining the unloading party.
Arriving by Rideshare?
  • Exit the vehicle at Hefner/Armstrong Residence Hall Check-In and unload your belongings.
  • The rideshare vehicle will be able to drop off the student and exit the Georgia Tech check-in process.
  • The student should approach the check-in desk and provide their ID to begin the check-in process.
Arriving by Public Transit?

Those taking public transit should take MARTA to the Midtown/10th St station and then take the campus Gold Route to Ferst Street and Hemphill Ave. and take the Red Route to the 8th Street stop. Then, follow the signs to check-in. Find the schedule for the Bus Routes here.

Arriving Late without a BuzzCard?

Students arriving to campus via non-official check-in days should …  

visit their area office Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.  At the office students will receive BuzzCard and assistance on the self check-in process. Moving bins will not be available on non-official move-in days.

Students arriving to campus after hours and without a BuzzCard should…. 

If arriving after hours (after 5:00 p.m. or weekends), students should go to their hall and call the Resident Assistant on Duty (RAoD).  The phone number for the RAoD should be posted on a blue card on or near the entrances of the buildings.  The RAoD will be able to check the student in and let the student into their room.  The next day, the student will then need to go to their area office to pick up their BuzzCard.
