Panther Housing Selection for the 2025-2026 academic year

Current first-year and continuing students are able to select where they live and select preferred roommates through the Panther Housing Selection Process. The Panther Housing Selection process is held in-person every spring semester. 

As a reminder, at Chapman, living in campus housing for three years is required for students who entered in fall 2024 or later. This policy will not impact students who entered Chapman before fall 2024, who will continue to be required to live-on for their first two years.  

The process 

1. Apply for Housing by the deadline: Current first-year and continuing students will apply for housing and for the 2025-2026 academic year through the Chapman Housing Portal. For your housing application to be considered complete, you must also submit the $500 non-refundable  Housing Reservation Payment by February 10, 2025.

There is no advantage or benefit to applying early or on the first day. All applications and non-refundable Housing Reservation Payments that are received by the deadline will be considered in our initial selection process pool.

2. Receive a randomized timeslot via email: Before the start of Panther Housing Selection, students who have applied will receive a randomized timeslot from the Office of Residence Life and First Year Experience via their Chapman student email. The timeslot will indicate the time and day students can go to select their housing in-person.  

Please note that the timeslot that you are assigned does not guarantee that you will be able to select any particular assignment. We recommend students come prepared with other housing options if their top housing preferences are unavailable.

3. Attend in-person housing selection: Students will go to go in-person at their given timeslot to select housing for the 2025-2026 academic year.  

• Students with preferred roommates: Students with one or more preferred roommates can compare timeslots with their roommates and select housing at the earliest timeslot. 

• Students without preferred roommates: Students without a preferred roommate can come to the selection process on their own, and staff will assist with selecting available spaces. 

• Students who are unable to make their given timeslot: Students and/or preferred roommate groups who are unable to attend in-person housing selection at their given timeslot may come anytime after their timeslot. 

We want to remind students that academics are important, and we highly discourage students from skipping academic obligations to attend housing selection.

4. Receive a confirmation email: After the Panther Housing Selection process has concluded, the Office of Residence Life and First Year Experience will send a confirmation email around mid-July with information regarding assigned building, space, and roommate information. 

Panther Housing Selection timeline: 

1. February 10, 2025: Housing applications opens. 
2. March 3, 2025: Priority application deadline. 
3. April 1-9, 2025: Students attend in-person housing selection based on their given randomized timeslot. 
4. Mid-July 2025: Students will receive a confirmation email with housing assignments and roommate information. 
5. August 21-24, 2025: Continuing students can move into their new housing assignment during their check-in time. More information regarding signing up for a check-in time and moving in will be provided by the students’ building manager toward the end of summer.
