Housing Selection for Returning Residential Students
Welcome Returning Students! The Office of Residential Education is excited to have you coming back for another great academic year at Wagner! We in ResEd have been working to create a streamlined, smooth and exciting housing selection process for all students! Please review the information below!
Please ensure that you have reviewed the housing contract prior to submitting your application. In addition, please ensure you have reviewed anticipated housing and meals rates here. Be advised that students who are looking to cancel their housing for next year should review their Residency Requirement here.
Email any questions you may have to housingselection@wagner.edu. We look forward to seeing you for housing selection!
- This year, the housing selection process will occur both through the housing portal, eRezLife (housing.wagner.edu) and in person.
- All students should apply for housing by filling out the Fall 2024 Returning Residential Student Housing Application on their housing portal (housing.wagner.edu)
- Students can use their OneLogin information to access the site!
- All returning undergraduate and graduate students will create an online roommate profile, create their roommate group, receive a lottery number and then attend an in person housing selection session the week of housing selection to select their exact building and room for the upcoming academic year.
For non-medical housing accommodations, students will be able to opt into the single room lottery. Single rooms for the 2024-2025 academic year will be $1,500.00 per semester. If a student is interested in a double buyout room, students will be able to opt into a double buyout room lottery. Double buyout rooms for the 2024-2025 academic year will be $2,000.00 per semester.
You will be able to apply for the single room and/or double buyout lottery on the housing application. A random generated lottery will occur for just single rooms and double buyout rooms independent of your corresponding lottery number for general housing selection. Students entered into the single room and double buyout room lottery will be invited to the single room and double buyout room lottery session. There are a limited number of single rooms and double buyout rooms, so parties not selected can be entered to a waitlist if they choose. Please note, if a student enters the lottery they are agreeing to the note price increase and it will not be eligible for change or removal.
There will only be limited single rooms and double buyouts available in Towers Hall and Harborview Hall. There are no double buyouts permitted in Guild Hall or Foundation Hall.
