Once you have been accepted to Case Western Reserve University you will gain access to the University Roadmap. The University Roadmap will provide access to the Housing Application for Spring 2023. We will begin accepting spring applications starting on Monday, November 7. 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. Room placements will be completed by December 30, 2022.
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 can indicate this on the housing checklist of the roadmap.
