On-Campus Housing Request

The On-Campus Housing Request is your chance to join the vibrant residential community at Stony Brook. If you don’t currently have an on-campus housing assignment, whether you missed an earlier application period or aren’t yet eligible as a returning or new student, you can still apply. As spaces open up, our priority is to welcome as many students as possible into the heart of campus life.

  • Space Availability and Housing Request Offers

    Each year, new spaces in campus housing open as students adjust their plans. These openings may come from cancellations, withdrawals, or room changes. The On-Campus Housing Request is the way we match these available spaces with students who are eager to live on campus or in a high-demand location.

    While a Request application does not guarantee housing, many students do receive offers throughout the year. Joining the On-Campus Housing Request ensures that you will be considered whenever spaces become available.

    If spaces are available and offers can be made:

    • During the summer and before the start of the Fall semester, offers are made on Tuesdays and Fridays
    • During the semester, offers are made on Tuesdays only. 

    On-Campus Housing Request applicants should check their Stony Brook email on these days. If you are offered a space, you will have three days to accept or decline the offer in your application.
