FOR 2026-2027
Current UNH students who want to live on campus in the residence halls or on-campus apartments must apply via the Housing Portal. Depending on your housing requirement status, you will apply during the Fall semester (October/November) or during the Spring semester (February/March). Students who submit their housing application by their respective self-selection deadline will be able to participate in the room self-selection process. Students who submit a housing application after the self-selection deadline will be hand assigned to a space based on availability.
Room self-selection is completed in three easy steps:
Step 1
Submit a housing application
(by the published deadline!)
Step 2
Form or join a group
(even if it's just you!)
Step 3
Select a space
(at your assigned timeslot!)
Students With a Housing Requirement
Submit Your Housing Application: Monday, February 2 - Tuesday, February 17, 2026 (1:00pm EST)
Current UNH students who have a housing requirement for 2026-2027 can begin to submit their 2026-2027 housing application on Monday, February 2, 2026. Students who submit their application by 1:00pm EST on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 will be able to participate in the room self-selection process. Students who submit their application after the deadline are still required to live on campus but will be hand assigned to a space based on availability.
Timeslots
Timeslots are randomized. Students will receive timeslots for any phase that they are eligible to participate in. If a student receives a timeslot and does not want to participate in that phase, simply ignore that timeslot/phase and wait for the one you want to participate in.
Example: If a student currently lives in a residence hall (that they are eligible to renew to) they would be able to participate in Phases 2, 3 and 4.
- If they want to try for an apartment - they should participate in Phase 2. If they do not want to live in the apartments - they can ignore Phase 2.
- If they want to renew to their current hall, they should participate in Phase 3.
- If they want to move to a different residence hall, they can ignore Phase 3 and wait for Phase 4.
Once a student has selected a space, their process is complete and will no longer receive timeslots for future phases.
Current off-campus residents (at time of selection): Off-campus residents will not receive timeslots during renewal phases (Phases 1 and 3). Groups comprised entirely of current off-campus residents will receive the latest timeslots (after all current on-campus residents) during each phase.
