How to Apply: Fall 2024

If you want to live on campus (Honors or otherwise), you must complete your Housing application through Residential Life.

All dates and processes on this page refer to Fall 2024 housing.

Returning students (Storrs)

The Housing Application opens on January 1 and is due on February 9. On your application, select "Honors Upper Division Housing" from the Learning Community dropdown.

  • Note that this is a single Honors community for Snow, New South, and Shippee.
  • Your Learning Community choice is not binding, so select Honors if you are considering Honors housing.

The Residential Community Acceptance Form will be sent on February 23 to students who have applied on time and selected the Honors community. You must submit this form by March 8 in order to live in Honors housing.

  • This form is a binding commitment to select a room somewhere in the Honors community.
  • If you do not submit this form on time, you will be moved into general housing selection, but 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 20.

  • If you complete the Residential Community Acceptance Form on time, 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 not be able to select a space in the Honors community. Other spaces in the same buildings may be available.
  • 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 9. If you are then guaranteed housing, you will be asked about your interest in living in the Honors 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.

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.

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.

  1. Submit your Campus Change application by the university's deadline.
  2. Follow the "Returning Students" instructions (above) for the campus you are changing to. The housing application deadline for campus changing students is March 1.
  3. 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.
