[GRAPHIC: FIRST YEAR HOUSING APPLICATION PROCESS]
[Emma Zatkulak, Communications Major]: Welcome to Boise State Broncos! My name is Emma, and I’m here to give you all of the details about the Housing Application process — but first, here’s a list of your key dates.
[GRAPHIC: IMPORTANT DATES February 17 – Housing application opens, Februrary 24 – Roommate matching opens, March 24-28 – Room selection window, July 15 – Deadline to cancel application, July 25 – First housing payment due, August 21 – Move in Week]
[Emma]: The Housing application will open Tuesday, March 18th for the Fall 2025, through Spring 2026 academic year. You’ll have until Thursday, May 1st 2025 to complete your application to be guaranteed on campus housing with Boise State. All applications submitted during the window will be processed with equal priority, so don’t worry about applying early.
[GRAPHIC: ROOM AND ROOMMATE SELECTION]
[Emma]: Starting mid-March, be prepared to sign the Academic Year License Agreement, list your top community preferences, pay $75 nonrefundable application fee, complete the living learning community questions if applicable, contact the educational access center if you need any accommodate asians, provide proof of renters insurance by registering with Grad Guard or your preferred provider, and complete a roommate profile and share your interest and lifestyle preferences. Check your Boise State email frequently for more important updates. Please note, your application isn’t complete until you’ve paid the application fee. If you’re under the age of eighteen when applying your parent or guardian will need to verify the application and acknowledge the license agreement. They will receive an email with instructions on how to complete this verification.
[Emma]: First year roommate matching takes place May 12th through May 23rd. Log into the housing portal to search for your roommate by name or look at profiles and find a good match. After making your roommate selection, you will be notified via email you have both confirmed to be matched together. On Tuesday, May 27th, a room selection window will be sent out. Room selection windows are randomly assigned by our electronic system. In June we will have a five day window to do your room selection. If you have identified a roommate, whoever has the earlier room selection window can secure your preferred room. That’s an overview of the process, but if you’re ready for more, head over to our Bronco Crib Series to get full tours of our resident halls and individual rooms for current Broncos.
