The DIBS process allows current residents the chance to stay where they are for the next year. Claim the SAME ROOM for the next academic year (freshmen residence halls are not available to be chosen in the DIBS and Pick-a-Room processes). The DIBS process is allowed in many of our upperclassmen housing options.
The DIBS Process for the 2026-2027 Academic Year is in
March 2026 (specific dates TBD)
The deadline to submit your 2026-2027 Academic Year Housing Application to be eligible for DIBS is in February (specific date TBD).
