Housing for the Next Academic Year
Each spring, students apply for housing for the following academic year through a process called Housing Selection.
Eligibility for Housing Selection:
- Rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have been approved for Senior Eligibility.
- Rising sophomores and juniors on medical leave of absence.
Details about the Housing Selection process can be found below.
Housing for the Current Academic Year
- Fall Semester Housing: Students must submit a Housing application via Hoya Housing by the first Friday in August.
- Spring Semester Housing: Students must submit a Housing application via Hoya Housing by the first Friday in November.
Living Learning Communities (LLCs)
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are residential spaces where students can explore their passions through social, educational, and reflective activities. These communities extend learning beyond the classroom, encouraging faculty-student interaction and promoting valuable residential experiences. Georgetown offers six active LLCs for the 2023-2024 academic year, focused on themes like academic interests, service learning, social justice, inclusion, interfaith work, and more.
Residency Requirement
Georgetown University requires all undergraduate students to live on campus during their first, sophomore, and junior years unless exempted by the Director of Residential Services or designee.
- Juniors studying abroad: Semesters abroad count toward the residency requirement.
- Transfer Students:
- Sophomore transfers must live on campus for two years.
- Junior transfers must live on campus for their junior year.
- Transfer students who meet the criteria can apply for a housing exemption.
All students living in on-campus housing are bound by the terms of the Housing Occupancy Agreement, which can be found in the Hoya Housing Portal.
