Students wishing to return to housing must participate in the Room Selection process to secure housing for the 2026-2027 Academic Year. Please ensure that you follow the instructions for Phase 1 and Phase 2, depending on the campus or program in which you are participating. Student Life administratively assigns all Southampton (SBSH) students in Phase 2. Choices from virtual room selection are subject to change depending on need, but we will keep the chosen suite mates/roommates.

Room Selection is 3 easy steps! 

All Residents (Phase 1)

• Step 1: Please fill out the SBSH Student Life Housing Intent Google Form (due Thursday, March 5, 2026, by 4 pm)
• Step 2: All residents in need of housing must complete Returning Resident Room Selection Phase 1 on the Housing Portal by March 5, 2026, at 4 pm.
• If you fail to complete Phase 1, you will not be housed and will be waitlisted.

Step 3: Southampton Campus Phase 2 (by Student Type)

• Returning Southampton Graduate Students: After March 5, 2025, Student Life will make individual appointments via Zoom to select a space. 
• Undergraduates Moving from Southampton to West Campus for Fall 2026: Follow Phase 2 Instructions on Campus Residences website.
• Current Southampton Undergraduate Residents Returning for Fall 2026: Follow West Campus Room Selection Phase 2 on the Campus Residences website to secure housing.

• A room must be selected by Friday, April 3 at 2:00 PM. Students who miss the self-selection deadline but completed Phase 1 of Room Selection will be administratively assigned to an available vacancy after Phase 2 closes.
• Southampton Student Life will assign Fall 2026 Semester by the Sea students mid-June.

FAQs

Why do I need to go through Room Selection if I know I am going to be at Southampton? 

You must go through Room Selection at West Campus even if you plan to fully enroll at Southampton. This is to protect you in case your academic plans change after Room Selection ends. This will ensure that you have an assignment where you are comfortable at West Campus and not stuck going on waitlists without fall housing (which are quite long for Fall semesters). 

When will Southampton Student Life assign me a room space? 

Following Room Selection, Student Life administratively re-assigns all Southampton students who participate in Phase 2 after confirming enrollment at Southampton sometime early to middle of May or early June. Student Life contacts students to ensure plans have not changed due to the availability of courses at Southampton.

Housing is available year-round for matriculated undergraduates in the Semester by the Sea Program for a semester or entire academic year. Commuters are welcome to apply. They will only need to fill out the Semester by Sea Housing Request Form. Priority goes to those who currently live in campus housing and then by application date order.

FAQs

If I am staying between Fall and Spring Semesters, do I need to move out?

No, students do not need to move off campus during intersession periods if they are enrolled for both Fall and Spring Semesters at Southampton Campus. Winter Session Housing costs are part of Fall and Spring Semester costs.

Students, however, can be administratively reassigned to a different Spring assignment depending on campus needs. 
 
How will I return to West Campus in Spring?

Southampton Student Life will work with Students after Spring enrollment in November to get students' assignments at West Campus for the spring semester. Housing preferences will be taken, but not guaranteed. 

Students will receive notice when their West Campus Assignment is ready. Southampton Student Life and its West Campus Community Area Office will work together with the student to ensure a smooth transition.

New students will need to request housing through the New Student Application through the housing portal after admission to the University. Typically, a $200 housing deposit by May 15 at 11:59 pm is required in SOLAR.  

Agreements are 10 or 12 months. Students are financially liable for the full duration of the agreement upon move-in.   

2025-2026 Applications will be available starting April 13, 2026, at 10 am.

For more Information regarding new student housing requests and deadlines, please visit our Campus Residence page.

There is summer housing available to students enrolled, interning, or conducting research at Southampton Campus. Due to limited availability, students must be enrolled in Summer 2026 or have confirmation of internship/research on the Southampton campus if not enrolled over the summer.

Priority goes to students needing housing for the full duration of summer, then by summer session, and then for a two-week course. 

The Summer Housing Application will go live on the Housing Portal on April 7.

• The priority deadline for a Session 1 arrival is May 1, 9:59 pm
• The priority deadline for a Session 2 arrival is June 16, 9:59 pm
• After the priority deadline, we will house students on a space-available basis, but we cannot guarantee housing or the desired arrival date. 

How to Apply by Student Type:

• Matriculated Undergraduate Students need to fill out the Semester by Sea Housing Request Form and the Summer Housing Application on the Housing Portal.
• Graduate Students in need of summer-only housing need to fill out the Summer Housing Application in the Housing Portal. If the student needs summer and academic year housing, please enter into a 12-month agreement on the Housing Portal. 
• Non- Matriculated SoMAS students (MAR 104, MAR 106, MAR 110) participants only do not need to complete a housing portal application. They will only need to complete the relevant Housing Request Google Forms in the next section. 

Students in Health Professions who start at HSC with the Anatomy and Physiology course (June 1 - August 7) can request housing at the Stony Brook campus at West Apartments. The housing portal will allow students coded HSC or SHTM to choose May 31 or June 1 as an arrival date. You may request Summer-Only Housing or Summer Housing (West Campus) and a 10 Month agreement (Southampton). 
 
Students will then need to move out of West Apartments by Saturday, August 10th, at 9 am and move to Southampton Campus to continue their housing agreement. Southampton Student Life works with West Apartments Area Office once spaces become available for students to move to the Southampton Campus.
