I’m not available for my time on Sunday, April 10

I’m interested in living off campus

• If you are currently a 2nd year student (graduated high school in 2020 or before), you don’t need to do anything.  
• If you are currently a first year student (graduated high school in 2021 or after), you will need to apply to live off campus per Augustana’s 2 year residency requirement.

 

FAQs

I wasn’t able to sign up for the space I wanted:  You will be able to add your name to a waitlist.  The housing office will reach out to you if anything becomes available

I have a really late time slot, what if I don't get housing:  Thankfully, with Wagoner Hall and newly renovated Bergsaker coming back online for the 2022 -2023 academic year, we anticipate having enough housing space for those that need it.  If you do not get your first choice in housing, please add your name to the waitlist.  

I’m a current first year student, can I live with my junior friend?:  Yes!  You can room with students of any year.

I want to live in a Wagoner suite with my 3 friends.  Can all 4 of us sign up together?:  If you and 3 others are hoping to live in a suite together, you can show up as a group of 4 (whoever has the best timeslot).  However, once Wagoner is full then you will no longer be able to sign up as a group of 4.  Once Wagoner is filled/there are no longer suites available, then students will have to come back during their originally scheduled time.

Can my future roommate be my proxy?:  Yes!  If your roommate is your proxy, they can sign both of you up together.  If your proxy isn’t your roommate, they can just sign you up during your time.  If you are going through the proxy process, you will need to sign your housing contract BEFORE April 10.
