Fall 2025/Spring 2026 Room Selection Update

Continuing Student Room Selection Update

As of Monday, March 10, USF Housing has closed the room selection process for continuing students and initiated a standby list for the Fall 2025/Spring 2026 term. Initiating a standby list does not mean USF Housing is out of beds. Any continuing students who applied for housing before the January 28 priority deadline, but were unable to participate in the room selection process, have been notified via email that they have been automatically added to the Standby List. If you decide you no longer wish to participate in the Standby List process, we encourage you to submit a housing cancellation request under the requests tab in the Housing Portal.

Housing & Residential Education will operate a small room selection process each week for a select number of students on the standby list based on the number of beds available for selection that week. It is common for spaces to gradually become available as cancellations are processed. The standby list room selection process will follow the timeline below. Please keep an eye on your USF email for updates.

Weekly Standby List Room Selection Timeline:
*this process will begin on Wednesday, March 26

• Monday: Email notifications sent to students eligible to select a bed that week
• Wednesday – Sunday:  Students can make their room selection in the housing portal
• After Sunday Night: Room selection will close for those students
• Following Monday: The process will restart for the next group of students

Please note that the size of the group going through Standby List Room Selection will be small and based on what beds are available at the beginning of that week. Therefore, depending on where you are on the list, you may have to wait several weeks until we reach your name. If you have an opportunity to choose a bed during Standby List Room Selection and do not, we will move you to the bottom of the standby list. This way every student can have the best opportunity to be able to select a bed on campus.

If you have questions about living on campus or the standby list process, please contact our team at housing@usf.edu or 813-974-0001.
