Self-Selection for New Transfer Students Has Concluded
The self-selection process for new transfer students concluded at 4 p.m. June 25th. If you still want campus housing, you should place your name on the housing waitlist and we will contact you when we are able to offer you housing.
While we cannot guarantee housing for transfer students, we are typically able to house transfer students from the waitlist as we process housing cancellations from students departing the university for various reasons throughout the summer. We appreciate your time and patience and look forward to welcoming you to campus in August!
You must complete the housing application to receive a housing assignment. If you place your name on the waitlist and have not yet completed the application, click on the housing application bar below to submit your application.
Housing Type
When starting the housing application, all students are required to select their Housing Type. Binghamton University offers two types of housing:
Housing Type 1: Housing based on Gender Identity
- If you choose this housing type you will only be able to pair with roommates, form groups and choose rooms with others who share the same gender identity.
Information regarding gender identity and how to enter your gender identity with the University is available on the Student Records website.
Housing Type 2: Gender Inclusive Housing
- If you choose this housing type you will pair with roommates to share a bedroom, form groups and live with others who may or may not share the same gender identity; with the intention of creating a welcoming environment for all.
- If you select Gender Inclusive Housing you agree to the Gender Inclusive Housing agreement indicating your desire to live with a direct roommate of any gender identity within your bedroom. Students who only want to share a bedroom and/ or living space with others of the same gender identity should select Housing Type 1.
- Make sure to choose the housing type that is right for you. When it comes to room selection there are no advantages or disadvantages to choosing one housing type over another.

Housing Accommodations
Binghamton University is committed to achieving equal educational opportunity and full participation for students with disabilities. Students with documented disabilities who require an accommodation in order to fully participate in the residential component of their college experience may apply for housing accommodations through Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD). Housing accommodations include, but are not limited to, visual fire alarms, first-floor rooms, elevator access, bed-height adjustments, climate control, single-rooms, and wheelchair accessible bathrooms. Residential Life has the most flexibility to work with and meet accommodations for students who apply for and receive their accommodation at least 30 days prior to the start of room selection. The SSD office will continue to accept and review housing accommodation requests beyond this timeline, but fulfillment will be based on availability. Students applying/re-applying for a housing accommodation must also participate in the housing process. For complete information, go to the Services for Students with Disabilities Housing Accommodations web page.
Selecting a Room is a Binding Agreement
Transfer students who select a room in the new student housing process have 14 days from the day they choose their room or receive a housing assignment to petition to be released from their housing until the published residence hall opening date. After this time you will be financially obligated to on-campus housing for the entire academic year and will not be released from the University Housing Agreement unless you are no longer enrolled as a student.
