Admissions Housing FAQ

There is no live-on requirement for students attending the Boca Raton Campus. This does not apply to students attending the Wilkes Honors College. As we no longer have a live-on requirement, if you want to live on campus, you should apply early as housing does fill quickly.

The Florida Pre-Paid Dormitory Plan is designed to pay for a double-occupancy, air-conditioned residence hall room at a State University in Florida. At 麻豆女郎, this is defined as a double room in Heritage Park Towers or Glades Park Towers. Florida Pre-Paid determines the allowable housing amount by June 1st of each year. A student who is a Florida Pre-Paid Dormitory Plan participant may request a room preference that is not covered by Florida Pre-Paid. However, the student is responsible for any charges not covered by the Florida Pre-Paid Dormitory Plan. The Dormitory Plan will not cover the $100 non-refundable deposit.

The room assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis, so the date you apply determines the order in which we make assignments. The earlier you apply for housing, the better chance to get your preferred living style.

Many students find potential roommates through social media groups, but students can also select to have a random roommate when filling out their housing application. If students select to have a random roommate, they will be paired based on room preference as well as the lifestyle questions that are asked during the housing contract.

The remainder of the housing fees are due when tuition and fees are due. Please refer to the academic calendar for these deadlines. Payment in full must be received in order for the student to be permitted to reside in his/her assigned space. Payments may be made online at

Many student residents receive financial aid. These awards are intended to first provide coverage for tuition and student fees. Any remaining dollars may be applied to University Housing. However, in order for students to take advantage of financial aid dollars being automatically applied to their Housing charges, three steps must be completed:
1. Financial aid must first have been awarded.

2. The student must have signed an acceptance letter for all awards.

3. The acceptance letter must have been returned to the Office of Student Financial Aid.

If the total amount of financial aid awarded to the student DOES exceed tuition and other fees, and if sufficient dollars are available to cover housing and dining charges, the remaining dollars may be applied to other 麻豆女郎 charges.

If there is only partial financial aid remaining after tuition and fees have been paid by financial aid, the student is required to pay in full all remaining housing and dining charges not covered by financial aid prior to moving into their assigned space. If the total amounts of financial aid awarded to the student DOES NOT exceed tuition and other fees, the student must make payment of all remaining housing and dining charges prior to moving into their assigned space.

Students who have pending financial aid awards will be required to pay in full for all housing and dining fees and then may 鈥渞eimburse鈥� themselves when financial aid is awarded and distributed during the semester.

First-year students can choose from traditional residence halls with suite-style accommodations.

During the housing contract process, students are asked lifestyle questions. Answers to these questions determine roommate pairing as well as the students room preferences. Apply early and complete your course registration as this affects placement with students who have matching lifestyle questions.


Entering first year students can search for other first year students as a roommate through the Housing contract process to see who has a similar percentage of matching based on the lifestyle questions. The higher the percentage for matching, the more similar answers they have. Entering first year students who know another entering first year student attending Florida Atlantic can request that student as a roommate by searching for the students Z#. Entering first year students must have a completed housing contract and the roommate match must be completed by May 1. Students visited the Roommate Request page of the Housing contract to search and request a roommate after they have completed the housing contract. The Roommate Request page becomes available after the housing contract is completed in its entirety.

For new first year students, within the process of filling out your Housing contract you are asked to complete the lifestyle questions. That is used to help students select roommates with similar lifestyles. And Housing also uses it as well to help pair students. Students can visit the Roommate Request page of the Housing contract to search and request a roommate after they have completed the housing contract. For returning students, you can complete this process during contract renewal.

We send out e-mails notification typically beginning in May. Additional notifications are done throughout the summer as needed until all students are placed.

Room assignments are not guaranteed, and because of the limitations of preferred spaces we attempt to proceed to your second choice until all assignments are made. We have a limited number of single bedrooms available, so by applying early, you have the best strategy to maximize the chance to get your room preference matched.

We recognize that social networking sites provide a lot of potential information about your future roommates. However, we do encourage you to make contact with your new roommate before requesting a room change through our office. Impressions made through these websites are not always accurate pictures, and creates generalizations which may be false. In general, we do not make changes in room assignments until after the semester begins.

We make every effort to resolve roommate conflicts. Before deciding to change rooms, please contact your Resident Assistant on your floor first to see what he/she can do to mediate the situation. Our Residence Education staff has been trained to help you with issues affecting you and your roommate.

If you are having a problem with your roommate or with another member of your suite or apartment, you should talk to your Resident Assistant. Your Resident Assistant lives on your floor or assigned area, and is an upper-division student who has been carefully selected and trained to assist you throughout the academic year.

Very often the Resident Assistant will talk with their supervisors and help resolve your problem, usually with a meeting of all parties involved. It is important that you maintain an open line of communication with your roommates so that you can talk about problems you may be having.

We expect our residents to treat each other as adults and discuss their differences openly. That is the first step in resolving differences. If you continue to have problems, and have worked initially with your Resident Assistant, you may next contact your Resident Coordinator. These individuals are full-time, professionally trained staff members who can assist you in taking additional steps.

Check with your Resident Assistant to locate the office of your Resident Coordinator.

We recognize that social networking sites provide a lot of potential information about your future roommates. However, we do encourage you to make contact with your new roommate before requesting a room change through our office. Impressions made through these websites are not always accurate pictures, and creates generalizations which may be false. In general, we do not make changes in room assignments until after the semester begins.

Housing Renewals

Waitlist Frequently Asked Questions for Current Students

Students who are notified that they are waitlisted will remain active for housing placement as long as they do not cancel their Housing Contract. Housing assignments for waitlisted students will be made throughout the summer and up through the second week of fall classes. Waitlisted students have two options:

Stay on the housing waitlist. The housing department will provide frequent updates to waitlisted applicants and their waitlist number will refresh in real time on the Housing Portal. We anticipate being able to accommodate many students from the waiting list, especially in the weeks preceding fall opening.
Waitlisted applicants may cancel their housing application. There is no financial penalty as long as cancellation occurs prior to being assigned a space. In order to cancel, you must complete the Housing Cancellation form at fau.edu/campus/housing/cancellation/. This gives you the flexibility if you sign a lease elsewhere and/or if you no longer need on-campus housing, you may cancel without any financial penalty.

Demand for on-campus housing is very high. We have seen a surge in the last four years in the number of returning residents who want to live on campus. In prior years, our return rates hovered around 50-55%. In the last two years, these rates have risen to over 70%.

This depends on how many students also continue to stay on the waitlist, and how many students cancel their Housing Contract. Based on our experience with the Boca Raton campus from last year, we expect to accommodate more than 400 students from the waitlist before the first day of fall classes. For our Jupiter Wilkes Honors College campus, we expect to accommodate more than 30 students from the waitlist. At the same time, many students who are on the waitlist make alternative arrangements and cancel from the waitlist. This means that students who are in a position to wait for a space can often be accommodated to live on campus. Please note, this is not a guarantee. Every student鈥檚 circumstances are different. If you are in a situation where you can wait, it can often increase your chances for being able to obtain a space.

The waitlist number is primarily determined by your year of entry and tuition deposit.

A student鈥檚 living distance from the university may be taken into consideration, however, priority is primarily based on the criteria explained previously in question #4.

You can review the list of off-campus properties on the Off-Campus Housing website 麻豆女郎 does not own or manage any Off-Campus Housing properties, and these are third-party listings that you would be responsible for communicating with directly. We do encourage students to remain on the waitlist if their circumstances allow them to do so.

Housing assignments will be made throughout the summer and up through the second week of fall classes. Please continue to check your 麻豆女郎 student email throughout the summer for important housing status updates.

Students who are waitlisted may cancel their Housing Contract without a financial penalty. This is option 8 on the cancellation form. You may cancel your Housing Contract prior to being assigned without financial penalty. However, once you receive an assignment, you must adhere to the Terms and Conditions of the Housing Contract. It is extremely important that you cancel your Housing Contract prior to being assigned housing if you plan to find other housing options.

If you remain on the waitlist and are not assigned housing for the fall semester, we will offer to transfer your Housing Contract to the spring 2027 semester. We will send communication to your 麻豆女郎 email address in September to confirm if you would like your Housing Contract transferred to the spring 2027 Contract term.

This is subject to availability at the time of the assignment. It is unlikely that we will be able to accommodate roommate requests, but we will make every effort to accommodate individual requests.

No, assignments are made based on your placement on the waitlist.

Preferences will be taken into consideration. This is subject to availability at the time of the assignment.

The housing office can be contacted via email at housing@fau.edu or by phone at 561-297-2880. Housing office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

When we assign students from the waitlist, we do consider their room type and roommate preferences, however, they are subject to availability. If you have parameters that restrict what you are willing to accept for on-campus housing, you may want to consider other alternative options for Off Campus housing. Demand is very high and we will likely be limited to what is available at the time of assignment. Please note, once a student is assigned from the waitlist, they will be bound to the terms and conditions of the housing contract. This includes being financially liable to the costs for on-campus living. It is important you consider your financial circumstances prior to being assigned.
