If you want to live on campus (Honors or otherwise), you must complete your Housing application through Residential Life by the posted deadline. Late applications are placed on a waiting list, which will prevent you from participating in Honors community room selection.
All dates and processes on this page refer to Fall 2025 housing.
Incoming first-year students (Stamford)
If you would like to live on campus, you must apply for housing through the standard Residential Life process: New Residents | Residential Life (uconn.edu)
No further action is needed. Any Honors student who receives campus housing will be placed in the Honors First-Year Residential Community.
Incoming first-year students (Storrs)
You must apply for housing through the standard Residential Life process: New Residents | Residential Life (uconn.edu).
Do not apply for any other learning community. You will automatically be assigned to the Honors First-Year Residential Community.
Returning students (Storrs)
The Housing Application opens on January 1 and is due on February 14. On your application, select "Honors Upper Division Housing" from the Learning Community dropdown. Note that this is a single Honors community for Snow, Connecticut Hall, and Shippee.
The Residential Community Acceptance Form will be sent on February 26 to students who have applied on time and selected the Honors community. You must submit this form by March 14 in order to live in Honors housing.
- This form is a binding commitment to select a room somewhere in the Honors community during your assigned selection time.
- If you do not submit the Residential Community Acceptance form on time, you will be moved into general housing selection. There is no other penalty.
- If you want to live in Honors housing and do not receive this form, email livingoncampus@uconn.edu.
Room and roommate selection pick times will be visible in My Housing on March 27. Housing selection in the Honors community will take place April 2-4, and general housing selection will take place April 9 - May 2.
- If you completed the Residential Community Acceptance Form on time, you will be given an Honors community selection time and you will only be able to select a space in the Honors community.
- If you did not complete the Residential Community Acceptance Form on time, you will be given a general housing selection time and you will not be able to select a space in the Honors community.
- You may change rooms--including switching between an Honors and non-Honors community--during the room change process in early summer.
Returning students (Stamford)
There may be an opportunity to continue to live in the Honors Residential Community on the 2nd floor of 900 Washington. Complete the Residential Life Housing Application by February 14. If you are then guaranteed housing, you will be asked about your interest in living in the Honors Residential Community.
Campus changing students
Honors students who are changing to the UConn Storrs or UConn Stamford campus will be able to apply to live in an upper-division Honors community on that campus.
- Submit your Campus Change application by the university's deadline.
- Follow the "Returning Students" instructions (above) for the campus you are changing to. The housing application deadline for campus changing students is March 1.
- If you are changing to UConn Storrs, you may receive the Residential Community Acceptance Form later than returning students do. You still must return the completed form by the stated due date to live in the Honors community.
