How do I submit an application?
Go to the CCA Student Housing Portal and log in using your CCA Credentials. Look for the corresponding Housing Application and click apply. You can find a detailed walkthrough here.
How are assignments made?
Assignments are primarily guided by the following priorities:
Approved Accommodation Needs
Priority is first given to applicants with approved accommodations through Access & Disability services that necessitate a specific room type. These assignments are completed before all others.
Housing Preference Alignment
For all other applicants, the ranking is based on room type, gender-inclusive housing options, ESA preferences, and their alignment with the available room inventory.
Application Submission Date
The final ranking is determined by the date your complete application was submitted and received.
Can I select my own room?
No, there is no self-selection process for the 2026 Summer or the 2026-2027 Academic Year applications. Instead, the Housing & Residential Education team will place applicants. If you have specific concerns connected to your room placement, outside of an approved accommodation through Access & Disability Services, you may contact us at housingdining@cca.edu.
When will I know my room assignment?
- Applicants who apply by the priority deadline for the 2026 Summer will receive notification of their housing assignment no later than April 17, 2026.
- Applicants who apply by the priority deadline for the 2026-2027 Academic Year will receive notification of their housing assignment no later than June 5, 2026.
- Applicants who apply after the priority deadline will be placed on a rolling basis.
Can I stay in my Summer room? Do I have to move?
We aim to keep students with a Summer 2026 housing assignment in the same room for Fall 2026; thus, avoiding another move! This is subject, however, to the availability of the same room type, gender preferences, date/time submission of both applications, etc., and cannot be guaranteed.
How do I request a specific roommate/suitemate?
When you complete your application, you will have the (optional choice) to create a roommate group. This is called "Part 2: Roommate Group." Please complete this module to request a specific roommate or suitemate.
We're here to help!
