On behalf of staff teams in the Office for Residential Life & Housing Services, and the Department of Campus Dining Services & Auxiliary Operations, we look forward to serving you on campus in 2024-2025.

This publication is the University of Rochester “Residential Life and Dining Services Contract for Undergraduate students” for 2024-2025. Please save a copy of this document, as it becomes your official contract upon submitting your application.

Residential Life & Housing Services is the source of information for all on-campus housing options—residence halls, fraternity houses, and special interest housing.

• New students (first-year and transfer) submit their housing and dining applications online through the Rochester StarRez portal, can be accessed through the Admissions portal. New students will receive official information on how to access the Admissions portal after their enrollment deposit is received. Room assignments are made over the summer for fall enrollment and in late December/early January for spring enrollment.

• Currently enrolled students (classes of 2025, 2026, and 2027) submit their housing and dining applications and select their rooms online through the annual Housing Lottery. Go to https://rochester.starrezhousing.com/StarRezPortalX/ to complete the application as described in the Housing Lottery instructions. Confirmation of room and dining selections for upperclass students will viewable in Rochester StarRez after selection.

• All houses on the historic Fraternity Quad are part of the Residential Life system, and all students living in these houses are required to have a housing and dining contract. Assignments to houses with thematic or membership programs will take place through a separate process that takes place during the lottery period. Students in non-programmed houses will select their rooms as part of the lottery process.

• Reactivated and readmitted students should contact the Office for Residential Life & Housing Services for housing and dining materials after receiving confirmation that they have been reactivated by the College Center for Advising Services.

Please be advised that all students living on- and off-campus are required to participate in a meal plan. New students will select a meal plan as part of the housing and dining application through the Admissions portal. Continuing upperclass students will select a meal plan as part of the housing lottery. If you do not complete the online dining registration you will be automatically enrolled in the minimum dining plan requirement for the residential area you selected, and you will be assessed a $50 late registration fee. We encourage financial aid recipients who have questions regarding how Financial Aid incorporates the cost of their meal plan and housing when determining their financial aid eligibility to contact their financial aid advisor.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us.

Sincerely,

Dan Watts Executive Director, Residential Life (on behalf of Residential Life & Housing Services, and Campus Dining Services and Auxiliary Operations)
