Housing for the Next Academic Year
Every spring semester students will apply for housing for the following academic year in a process called Housing Selection.
Who is eligible to participate in Housing Selection?
Rising Sophomores, rising juniors, and only rising seniors who are approved for Senior Eligibility. Also, any rising sophomore or juniors currently on a medical leave of absence.
Details about the Housing Selection process can be reviewed below.
Housing for the Current Academic Year
Students who would like to be considered for either fall or spring semester housing, may apply for housing through the current year’s housing application, located in Hoya Housing.
Students applying for housing for fall semester must submit a Housing application via Hoya Housing by the first Friday of August.
Students applying for housing for spring semester must submit a Housing application via Hoya Housing by the first Friday in November.
Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are residential communities where students are able to share and deepen their passions through social, educational, and reflective activities. These communities support Georgetown University’s focus on active and collaborative learning by extending discussions beyond the classroom, creating new opportunities for students and faculty to interact, and promoting the value of experiences that occur in residential spaces. At Georgetown, for the 2023-2024 academic year we have six (6) active Living Learning Communities where students can explore themes of academic interests, service learning, social justice and inclusion, inter-faith, and others.
Residency Requirement
Georgetown University requires that all undergraduate students who are regularly admitted and in full-time attendance at the University must live on campus during their first-year, sophomore and junior years, unless specifically exempted from the requirement by the Director of Residential Services or his/her designee. All students residing in on-campus housing are bound by the terms of the 2022-23 Housing Occupancy Agreement .
Juniors studying abroad may count the semester(s) toward the requirement. Sophomore transfers will be required to live on campus two years, while junior transfer students will be required to live on campus for their junior year. Transfer students who meet the posted criteria, may apply for a housing exemption.
