What Are Upperclassman Housing Assignments?

As a returner, you have the opportunity to choose your own room and living experience. These spaces include variations of efficiency, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and four-bedroom apartments as well as off-campus, Grand Valley leased spaces.We understand that some of these spaces may be more desirable than others for many different reasons, but we only have a limited quantity of certain styles. Please keep an open mind if you are unable to choose your desired style.

What to Expect With No Housing Assignment Show

Returning Students with a Submitted Housing Application

We would like to provide you with the following helpful information:

The self-selection process remains open until July 15th. Spaces will go into the pool for selection as they become available through cancellations and room changes.
Cancellations tend to follow trends, and we expect an increase in available spaces around the end of the Fall Semester and early January, and during the month of April in advance of the May 1st deadline.
If your plans change and you will be living off campus, please submit a cancellation via the myHousing portal.

GVSU Housing appreciates your interest in living on campus and your patience throughout this process.

Returning/Transfer/Graduate Student Assignments Show

Returning, Transfer & Graduate students participate in room selection. You may self-select a specific unit based on the building, floor, unit, bedroom, and roommates that you would like. Note: roommate requests must be mutual. After applying for housing, Phase one: Select who you would like to live with via My College Roomie. Phase two: Select WHERE you would like to live, via the Housing Selection process in your myHousing portal. For Fall-Winter, Phase One begins in the first week of November. Phase Two, the selection of rooms, begins the following week in November.

You can choose between our apartments on the Allendale Campus (Calder, Grand Valley Apartments, Laker Village, South C, D & E and VanSteeland), the Downtown Campus (Secchia and Winter), a Living-Learning Community, or Grand Valley leased, off-campus unit located at Campus West or 48 West.

The room Selection Process opens in mid-November and will remain open until July 15th. When you apply for Housing, you will automatically be added to the Selection Process. Please note, the process will be temporarily shut down in late November.

How to Select Rooms During Room Selection

Special Accommodations Show

Any student requesting a specific housing assignment based on a medical condition must register with Disability Support Resources. Housing accommodations will be coordinated based on DSR Advisor recommendations, date of application, and space availability.

Room Change Requests - Before Move-In Show

After picking a room, you can switch it anytime using the room change selection process. Feel free to make changes as often as you like until July 15th. This gives you flexibility to adjust your choice until that date. As spaces open up through cancels and changes, they will go back into to the available inventory for selection. Our advice is to be patient and check back frequently.

If you would like to move to a Living Learning Community, please contact the housing office via email at myhousing@gvsu.edu.

Room Change Requests - After Move-In Show

Room change requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and processed on an individual basis pending space availability. Space is limited and reassignment is not guaranteed. You are encouraged to work with your RA and Living Center Director staff to assist you with any roommate concerns you may be experiencing.
