Welcome home! As a returning student, we thank you for continuing to live on campus. Housing and Residence Life strives to create a home away from home where all ERAU students are able to thrive academically, professionally, and personally.
Housing rules and regulations outlined in the Student Handbook can be found at the Dean of Students page.
Room Selection
Who Gets to Live On Campus and Where?
On campus housing is a finite resource and we do our best to accommodate all students wanting to live on campus. That being said, housing contract completion date and time is the deciding factor in determining who is allocated a room and who is waitlisted. Be sure to complete your housing contract as soon as it becomes available!
Housing contracts can be found in the Housing and Meal Plans Portal via ERNIE.
Terms and Conditions
Please be sure to read and become familiar with the Terms and Conditions found on the right side of this page. Housing contracts are for the full academic year (Fall 2026 & Spring 2027).

Online Roommate Selection
Online roommate selection will take place between March 24th, 2026 and April 6th, 2026 via My College Roomie. Students have the opportunity to create a profile, complete the questionnaire, search for roommate/suitemates, and create a match group.
Note – All roommate/suitemate preferences must be mutually requested and all participants must be eligible for room selection. Students are not able to pull students into roommate or room selection if they are not eligible.
Online Room Selection
Non-waitlisted students will receive a room selection date and time that indicates when they will be able to select their room. Room Selection priority is based on cumulative credit count. Rising seniors will be granted access first, then rising juniors, and then rising sophomores.
Summer Housing
Housing contracts for Summer 2026 will launch in the Housing and Meal Plans Portal via ERNIE in Spring 2026. Due to limited availability, we do not offer a room selection process for the summer terms. If students would like to live with a particular person or group, they may reach out the Housing & Residence Life Office to make a request. Students living on campus for Spring 2026 who also have a Summer A housing contract may stay in the their spring housing assignment until their Summer A housing assignment is available.
Waitlist Process
Spaces are allocated based on the date and time the housing contract is submitted. The waitlist is managed in the same fashion, with those who completed their housing contract earliest being offered a space first. If students are waitlisted and haven’t selected a housing assignment, they are able to cancel their housing contract without penalty. As spaces become available, Housing & Residence Life will offer spaces via email. Once offered, students have 72 hours to accept or decline. If students decline the space or fail to accept, their housing contract is automatically cancelled and they will be removed from the waitlist.
At any point in time, students can contact Housing & Residence Life to receive a waitlist position updated. Housing & Residence Life will communicate waitlist position updates periodically via email.
