Class Year Standing
Note: Starting with 2023 Room Selection, point values have been adjusted by 100 (from 100/200/300 to 200/300/400) to be more intuitive based on class year (more information).
Students can check their class year standing (or to see if they are eligible to take part in Room Selection) by logging into the Housing Portal and clicking "Room Selection."
Class year standing is based on students' anticipated graduation date recorded by the Registrar's office. Students who need to adjust their graduation date should submit the form below no later than Wednesday, February 22, 2023.
