Roommate and Room Type Preferences

Since new Spring 2025 residents are assigned to spaces that are vacated by Fall 2024 residents, our ability to accommodate room type preferences from new spring residents may be limited or not possible. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of vacancies available for Spring semester, we are unable to offer the option to request a specific roommate or hall for the Spring semester.

Summer Housing

Eligibility

Only students who have been admitted to FSU for Summer 2025 are eligible to complete this contract.

The Summer B housing contract for first-year students will be available in early March. If you intend to live on campus for Summer and Fall/Spring terms, you should NOT wait to complete your Fall/Spring contract until the Summer contract is available, as this will significantly impact your Fall/Spring assignment priority. Your Summer B contract does not carry over to your Fall/Spring contract.

NOTE: The summer contracts for upper division transfer and current FSU students for Summer terms A, B and C will open in late March.

Room Assignments

Students who complete a housing contract, pay an Admissions deposit, and complete registration for orientation by all published dates, will receive more information about summer room assignments in early June, shortly before the start of the Summer B term.

Students are assigned in order by the date/time students complete Step 1 of their housing contract as long as the student completes Steps 2 & 3 by the deadlines.

Roommate Requests

Incoming students who would like to room with a specific individual will be able to submit a roommate request starting in early March through May 1. Those students with a mutual roommate request at the time room assignments are made will be assigned based on the latest contract date of the roommate pair.

Hall and Room Type Preferences

You can update your hall and room type preferences on the housing portal as many times as you would like until May 1. Most students should expect to be assigned to a shared bedroom space with a shared bath that adjoins another shared bedroom.

If you have a requested roommate, you should ensure that both you and your requested roommate have the same hall/room type preferences in the same order before May 1^st.

Cancellation

Only students who will not be attending Florida State University for the Summer B Semester will be permitted to cancel their Summer B housing contract.

We recommend you do not sign an off-campus lease if you have already completed a housing contract for Summer 2025, as you will not be able to cancel it if you will be enrolled at FSU.

To cancel your contract due to not attending FSU:

1. Login to the Housing portal, if not already logged in
2. Click "Summer Housing Contract"
3. Follow the prompts on the page

Parent/Guardian Contract Consent

Students that submit the online portion of their housing contract and thereby agree to the terms and conditions of the housing contract when under 18 years of age must also have a parent/guardian accept the contract terms and conditions using this form.

NOTE: Completing this form is NOT the same as submitting a housing contract! Students must ALSO submit the housing contract online.
