Returning to a Residence Hall?
Current WVU residence hall students who want to return for 2027-2028 may participate in room self-selection and choose from eligible available spaces.
Returning residents will have access to single rooms in Bennett Tower and may also explore other eligible residence hall options. Some residence halls are reserved for specific student populations (ex., Honors, Lincoln, and Seneca Halls) and will not be available to returning residents.
After self-selection ends February 26, current residents may contact the Housing Assignments Office to ask about remaining residence hall availability.
Housing contracts run through the full academic year (ending May 8, 2027).
Important Things to Consider
The housing application and contract are binding for the full academic year (fall and spring) unless you are no longer enrolled as a WVU student.
A $225 housing deposit is required.
If you sign an off-campus lease before the May 1 cancellation deadline, you may receive a partial refund of your housing deposit.
After May 1, no refunds will be issued, and your residence hall contract becomes binding as long as you remain registered as a WVU student.
Returning students are eligible to live in any residence hall except Lincoln Hall and Honors Hall (reserved for incoming first-year Honors College students) and Seneca Hall (reserved for first-year students, as returning students are eligible for University Apartments); please note that some residence hall spaces may have additional eligibility restrictions.
