What if I complete my application after April 10, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.?

Students who complete their housing applications after April 10, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., will be eligible to:

  • Search for roommates upon completion of their application.
  • Log into Self-Service beginning June 2, 2026, to select your residence hall room.
  • Once a student has selected a room, they can select a meal plan.

Prior to participating in new student room selection, you must complete the following:

1. Complete your new student room application and sign your housing contract online via the Self-Service website beginning April 10. Please note – if you are under 18 at the time you are completing the application, you will need Parent/Legal Guardian permission before your application is considered complete. See “Important Notes” for instructions to receive the verification email.

2. Match with your roommate(s) on the Self-Service website. Please make sure you and your potential roommate(s) have completed the new student room application and contract in step #1 before trying to match in Self-Service. You are not required to create a roommate group.

General Selection

If you complete your new student room application and contract anytime after April 10, you will be able to select your residence hall room on your Self-Service website, June 10 at 10 a.m. – August 12 at 5 p.m.

Additional Details

  • All room selections are based on a first-come, first-served basis. You can select a room at any time during your selection window.
  • If you created a roommate group, one person in your group can select housing on behalf of the group from the available options.
    • Housing selection is a live process, so you need to have alternate plans if your group’s first choice is not available.

As students select their housing, they may select their meal plan for the upcoming academic year. Students who do not select a meal plan by August 10, will automatically be enrolled for the 17 meal per week plan.

After August 10, please contact us (reslife@queens.edu) for housing and meal plan change assistance.
