Housing

Housing Renewal

Housing Renewal for Fall 2024 will be online in which students will email their housing application and additional forms to housing@ltu.edu. Students will be able to choose their preferred roommates, if any, and provide up to five (5) preferred rooms per room option. Housing staff will use this information to complete Fall 2024 placement. 

Students are given a specific day to email their completed forms to housing@ltu.edu. Status is based on current credits completed, and does not include credits being taken during the Spring 2024 semester. 

All forms must be emailed on your assigned day after 10am. Early applications will not be accepted.

Make sure you and your roommates email your application materials on the date of the roommate with the highest class ranking. For example, if a Senior, two Juniors, and a Sophomore want to live together, all forms may be submitted on the Senior Day (Monday, April 1st). However, any of the roommates can email the forms, it does not have to be the roommate with Senior status. 

If you are signing up to live with roommates, only ONE email will everyone’s forms should be sent.

Students with a housing accommodation through the Office of Disability Services will email their application on their assigned day like all other students. 

To find out your current status and your assigned date to email your application, please refer to the card that is given to you by your Resident Assistant. If you did not receive a card, or you lost/misplaced it, please email housing@ltu.edu.

      • Failure to complete this form will result in Housing staff placing you based on any preferences listed on your housing application or in any available space.
      • If you do not have roommates planned for next year, please complete the Roommate Survey so we can find you the best possible roommate.
    • Co-ed Policy Form
      • This form is only necessary if you plan to live in a co-ed room next year.
      • Please remember, the room must be full to request a co-ed room. Only one form is needed for the room.
    • Over Occupancy Form
      • This form is only necessary if you plan to live in an over-occupied room next year.
    • Residents who wish to stay during Summer 2024 must submit a Summer Housing Application in addition to the Fall Housing Application. More information can be found on our Apply Page.
  • On your assigned Housing Renewal Day, you will email your housing application and any other necessary forms to housing@ltu.edu.
    • If you are signing up with roommates, you must designate ONE person to submit all forms for all roommates.
    • Each student must have their own housing application. If submitting other forms, only one is needed for the room.
  • All forms must be emailed on your assigned day or of the assigned day of the roommate with the highest class status. Only one email for the room should be submitted.

  • Once your email is submitted, do NOT respond to that email. If you have questions, submit a separate email.

Placement

  • The Office of University Housing will be placing all students based on the following criteria:
    • Your assigned date to sign up/class ranking
    • Place in line – all applications will be timestamped in the order they are received which becomes your place in line.
    • Preferred building and room options.
  • As applications are received, they will be timestamped and numbered and placed in order for that day’s group.
    • For example, if you have senior status and we receive your application first, you and your roommates will be placed first during the senior placement round. If you are the fifth senior to email your application throughout the week, you and your roommates will be placed fifth during the senior placement round, etc.
  • The Office of University Housing will look at your preferences marked on the Roommate Request and Room Preference Form.
    • For example, if you marked your first choice as a Donley 2-bedroom apartment, and put three specific room choices, depending on your assigned day and place in line, you will either get one of your room choices, or we will try to give you the same room number on a different floor.
    • If none of your room choices are available, but the building is, we will try to place you in a different room within the same building.
    • If all rooms are full in your first building choice, we will then place you in your second, or possibly third choice building, depending on spaces available.
    • Please remember, the Roommate Request and Room Preferences form is a guide for Housing staff regarding your preferences, and placement in specific spaces is not guaranteed.

Donley Hall

  • Priority will be given to those whose room will be occupied by ALL Graduates, Seniors, Juniors, or those who will be Juniors in the fall. If you sign up with a current freshman or sophomore who will still be at freshman or sophomore status in the fall, you will be placed in Donley Hall if there is space after priority placements are made.
    • For example, if a Senior and Junior status student sign up with two students who will only be at Sophomore standing in the Fall, they will be placed at the end of the Junior day once priority is given to those who are signing up with all eligible roommates (all Juniors and above).
  • Your class ranking is based on credits completed. Current (Spring 2024) credits are not counted. Placement rounds will go in the following order, by class level:
    • Graduate Student
    • Senior: 90 or more credits
    • Junior: 60 – 89 credits
    • Sophomore: 30 – 59 credits
    • Freshmen: 0 – 29 credits
  • Do Not contact the Office of University Housing in regards to where you were placed once the week of renewal is over. All students will receive their placement via email in July. We will not respond to any email inquiries about placement.

Waitlist Procedure

  • If you receive your placement in July, and did not get your building of choice, you may then email a Waitlist Form to housing@ltu.edu.

Housing Renewal Tips and Reminders

    If you don’t have a roommate, please submit a Roommate Survey. Even if you have submitted one in the past, we ask that you resubmit a new form each year during Renewal.

Rooms Occupied by residents who are over and under 21

  • Rooms that occupy students where one or more residents are 21 or older and at least one or more is younger than 21 are permitted.
  • Rooms with mixed ages must be agreed upon and mutually requested by all roommates involved, and they must turn in the Alcohol & Roommate Policy and Contract form during the first week of the Fall semester. You will receive the form from your Resident Assistant.
  • This policy is in place to ensure that all residents of the room understand and agree to the University Student Code of Conduct and University Housing Guidelines alcohol policies.

Co-Ed and Over Occupied Apartments

  • In order to request this, all students must agree and mutually request the same roommates and turn in the Co-Ed Policy form or the Over Occupancy Policy form at Housing Renewal.
  • Co-ed living and over occupied apartments are allowed on any returning student floor in both buildings.
  • Each apartment/room must be filled to maximum capacity at all times for co-ed rooms. If at any time someone moves out of a co-ed apartment, it is the responsibility of the existing roommates to find a new roommate. If you are unable to do so, the apartment will be converted back to single gender and the Office of University Housing may reassign you to another space.
  • The Office of University Housing would never place a student into a co-ed living apartment unless it was mutually agreed upon by all of the roommates.
  • There are no discounts for over occupied rooms.

Consolidation

  • During housing renewal, the consolidation policy will be in effect. All rooms will be filled to capacity during housing renewal.
  • If you do not have enough roommates to fill your preferred room, you will receive an assigned random roommate.

  • We will not accept waitlist forms for a different room number within the same building you were assigned.
  • The Office of University Housing makes every attempt to keep you in the room that you signed into during housing renewal. However, sometimes a need arises that necessitates your reassignment.
