Pre-Selection

There are a number of pre-selection processes in which students are assigned housing before General Selection takes place. Students assigned to housing via one of the following processes will not be issued General Selection Admission Tickets.

Click here to view a video explaining Pre-Selection information including options and processes.

Eligible students may apply to live off-campus for the 2025-2026 academic year. Current off-campus students must reapply. Off-campus releases are not guaranteed. The University anticipates releasing approximately 50 students off-campus for the 2025-2026 academic year. Students should not sign a lease unless they receive notice from the University that they have been approved.

Organizational Housing is designed to provide environmental support to the academic and co-curricular elements of the University. It is an opportunity for active members of a USG recognized club/organization or Moravian University athletic team or military affiliated group to establish a living space that meets the goals and interests of the group.

Room assignments within the chapter house are the responsibility of each organization’s leadership. If a member of a fraternity or sorority participates in another pre-selection process and their name appears on a chapter housing roster, the fraternity or sorority housing status will supersede all other pre-selection processes and the individual will be expected to reside in the organization’s house. Members of Fraternity or Sorority organizations will not be considered for off-campus release or General Selection until a complete list of residents and three viable alternate members are provided to the Office of Campus Life.

The Room Retention Application is designed to provide students the option of selecting their current room/suite for the next academic year. To retain a room in a traditional residence hall or a suite in a suite-style building, 50% or more of the current residents must return to the space.

All other vacancies in the room/suite must be filled with students before the application deadline of Friday, March 28.
