147 Do I have to submit a Residence Hall Agreement each semester
No. Fall housing assignments are made for the duration of an academic year. You can also
apply for housing in the spring. For additional questions, consult the following Residence Hall
Agreement terms and conditions.
New Students (Freshman, Transfer and Graduate Students)
How do I select a room
New students to the University do not have access to room selection. These students should
complete the housing application form sent with the accepted student packet. If you have
particular requests for accommodations, please email those requests to housing@adelphi.edu.
When will I know my room assignment
You will receive an email and letter with your room and roommate information once you are
assigned. Once you have submitted your admissions deposit to Adelphi, you will have access
to the eCampus portal. From that portal, you will have access to your Adelphi email account,
message boards, and the University calendar. Please note, you will need to enter your username
and password, which you can look up and reset on links found on the eCampus login page.
After submitting your housing deposit and Residence Hall Agreement, and a room has been
assigned, you will receive an email notification and a letter with your room and roommate
information. You will also be able to review your housing information by accessing the
MyHousing application located under the services tab of your eCampus portal account. For
new students, visit adelphi.edu and open the Getting Started at AU message box, which will
guide you to setting up your eCampus account. Once you have been notified of your room
assignment, you can access MyHousing.
Returning Students
How do I select a room
The room selection process is conducted online in April of each year and a room selection
tutorial is provided at students.adelphi.edu/sa/rlh/apply.php. In general, only current
residents and those former students away on study abroad are eligible to participate in room
selections. Students currently on residence hall or University probation must meet with their
residence hall director to determine if they are eligible to participate in room selection.
What happens if I do not have a roommate
Room selection preference will be given to students who have already matched themselves with
their roommate(s). These students should contact their RHD to receive assistance in locating
others without roommates. Should all attempts to locate a roommate fail, these students should
complete their housing agreement online and pay their room deposit in order to be considered
for housing. The Office of Residential Life and Housing will select a room and roommate for
you once freshman and transfer students have been assigned.
Returning resident students who have not selected a room during the room selection process
in April will be assigned a room on campus for the following fall after all new freshman and
transfer students have been assigned. For housing consideration, students are required to be
registered for classes.
