Step 2: Housing Results Notification

By February 3, 2026

Residents who participated in the Housing Reapplication Process will receive an email sent to their Purdue email address on February 3. In this email, you will either receive a date and time (time slot) to choose a room in the housing portal or a notification that you were not selected for reapplication. All students who are selected in the process will be able to choose a room from inventory available during their assigned time slot. 

If you opt into the process and are not selected, you may be offered open space if it becomes available during room selection or have the opportunity to join a waitlist.

NOTE: Process selections are determined randomly.

Step 3: Room Selection and Confirm your Housing Contract

February 10 – February 11, 2026

Starting February 10, residents who were provided a time slot will have an assigned six-hour window to select their room from available inventory, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. EST.
 
During assigned time slots, residents can change their selection until the six-hour time slot has ended. Once the time slot has ended, the room selection will be considered their final selection. If a resident misses or cannot make their time slot, there will be an opportunity for them to select a room on a make-up day at the end of room selection. Please see the detailed schedule below.
