COMPLETING THE HOUSING CONTRACT link-arrow link-arrow

UD guarantees on-campus housing to students who confirm enrollment by May 1. To be included in the first round of housing assignments (on April 15), students should confirm enrollment and complete the housing and meal plan contract on the Porches To-do List by March 22. 

When completing the housing contract, students can select their roommate or take advantage of our highly successful roommate matching program, which pairs students based on compatibility, not random assignment.

Support for First-Generation Students

We know college is a big step for all students, but first-generation college students may have unique challenges. On our First-Gen Resources page, UD offers links to information and opportunities to help first-generation students and their families navigate the admission process, financial information, student success tools and more.

We hope you’ll encourage students who are the first in their families to attend college to join us for our virtual First Gen Flyer Night on Thursday, April 16.

  • Take placement exams, if required by their academic program.

Housing Options at UD

At UD, our vision for residential living goes beyond housing. In the Catholic and Marianist tradition, we provide services, programs and facilities that foster leadership, community, civility and faith, creating an integrated learning and living experience across all four years — from a student’s time in a traditional residence hall to a porch-clad house in our student neighborhood.
