Housing Application Process

Once you’ve been admitted to DU and secured your spot, your next step is to apply for housing through the Housing Portal.

During the application process, you fill out a survey, inquiring about your preferences on sleep habits, daily routines, cleanliness, and more. Using the survey results, Housing and Residential Education (HRE) works to match you with a roommate who complements your living habits and interests.
