Housing selection for the 2025-2026 academic year will begin on April 8 with students of senior class status. Students will need to login to eRezLife during their assigned time slot to choose housing.
Time slots for housing selection will be published on Monday, April 1. Students will be able to see available housing options one week prior to their assigned housing selection time slot. For example, a student with an assigned selection time of 7:00 p.m. on April 8 will be able to see housing options in eRezLife on April 1 at 7:00 p.m.
Students will only be able to see housing options that match the number of people in their roommate group. Students who have four people in their roommate group will only see housing options that include four beds (i.e., Brother Leopold, Residencia Santiago Miller, etc.). The person with the highest number of completed credits will choose housing for the entire roommate group as long as all parties have accepted the invitation to the group. If a student does not have a green checkmark next to their name, they have not accepted the invitation to the roommate group and therefore will not be housed with the group.
Only students who have completed their housing application and paid the $250 housing deposit will be allowed to choose housing. Deposits can be paid on your student portal or by contacting Cardinal Central.
Students with senior or junior class status will select housing on April 8. Students with sophomore or freshmen (non-first year) class status will select housing on April 9. Students who apply for housing after the lottery is published on April 1 are considered late and may not be placed into a time slot. Students who do not select their housing during the selection period need will need to contact the Office of Residence Life at reslife@smumn.edu to determine available housing options.
