Once you have been accepted to Case Western Reserve University you will gain access to the University Roadmap on May 4 and can access the housing application. You can list building and roommate preferences on your application, however, we will make placements based on what is open and available at that time.
Case Western Reserve University has a two-year residency requirement. All first- and second-year unmarried undergraduate students who do not live at a parent's permanent residence within 40 miles of campus must live on-campus and participate in the University board plan. If you are eligible to commute, you will need to complete a housing release request.
