2026-2027 year

All New Incoming/Transfer Students

Please read all information below regarding the application process for new incoming/transfer students at the University of Evansville for the Fall 2026 semester. For a simplified list of important dates, please see our Calendar section.

For transfer students, Residence Life and Admissions will work together to apply any completed credits to your student profile.

For full room and board rates, please visit the Student Financial Services area.

Housing applications go live on March 2 in your eRezLife account. All students are required to submit a $75 non-refundable housing registration fee at the end of the housing application. Applications will not be completed until this fee is paid.

After you have submitted a housing application, form roommate groups in eRezLife (roommates will need to have a completed application and accept your roommate group invitation). Roommate groups are crucial as you will not be able to select a room without having a full roommate group (i.e. For a 4-person unit, you will need to have a roommate group with 3 other people). The Office of Residence Life highly recommends having multiple roommate groups to ensure that you can pick a preferred housing option during your selection time. The roommate with the earliest selection time will pick housing for all roommates in a roommate group.

If you're not sure who you'd like to live with yet, you can choose to search for possible roommates using Roomeez! Start by turning on your 'RoomeeZ' profile by selecting 'My Roommate Profile' from the left side menu. Here you can decide what information to share about yourself with potential roommates. Once you've turned on your profile, you'll be able to search for others and invite them to join a roommate group with you. Everyone you invite to your roommate group will need to accept the invitation.

View available rooms and save preferences before your selection application. Once your application has been submitted, you can preview rooms that you qualify for. Only units that you are allowed to live in according to your profile will be shown. You can favorite rooms for easy access during your assigned selection time.

Housing applications are due by May 1. Room selection appointments will be assigned and emailed on May 4. Failure to submit a housing application by May 1 may result in delayed and limited options for housing.

Students must have submitted all required materials to be assigned housing. Required materials include a completed application and housing registration fee.

The University reserves the right to make or change assignments, assign a new roommate, or consolidate spaces at any point in the academic year based on the needs of the program.
