Students Currently Abroad, on Leave, or on Medical Leave
Students in the above categories who are scheduled to return to Yale College in the fall may be included in the room draw process. To ensure they are listed as eligible, such students must notify, in writing, the Undergraduate Housing Office and their residential college dean’s office of their intention to live on campus. Students in this category must adhere to all deadlines using the Undergraduate Housing Portal.
If you are on leave or medical leave and plan to return in the fall, please notify the undergraduate housing office and your college dean’s office as soon as possible if you wish to be included in the housing process.
Students Currently Withdrawn
Withdrawn students may not take part in the housing process. Still, they should notify their residential college dean’s office if they intend to seek reinstatement and campus housing in the fall. Withdrawn students who expect to need housing in the fall should request housing through the waitlist which will open in February.
Spring Arrivals
Students who will be away from Yale in the fall term (e.g. term abroad, leave of absence, etc.) may not draw a room for the following year.
The request form for second-semester housing will be available to students after the start of the fall term. Spring term housing requests for students who will be abroad or on leave in the fall can be submitted via the Undergraduate Housing Portal. Housing placements for the spring term begin in November and will continue to be reviewed on a rolling basis up until the start of the spring term. Housing will be assigned to returning students based on availability. Historically, there has been enough space on campus for all students who request housing for the spring semester.
