As a new incoming student, you will need to submit your Housing/Commuter App on your Pride Page, and then complete the roommate questionnaire at PAWS Orientation. Once you have selected your roommate or one has been assigned to you, you will be assigned a room and will receive a confirmation email. You will receive your official housing assignment via your Greensboro College email address. The Office of Residence Life will make every possible consideration in pairing roommates based on information contained in your housing application. The assignment process is extremely time consuming and will be completed as soon as possible, usually by the end of July.

Students with a documented disability that may require housing accommodations should contact the Office of Academic Accessibility.

Only residents living in Greensboro and West may choose to build a loft in their rooms. Lofts must be built by individual students. The college does not provide prefab, loft “kits.” It is recommended that you build a loft to fit your specific room and not to purchase a prefab kit as room dimensions are not universal. Please Note: All furniture in the resident rooms is the responsibility of the assigned residents. Residents may not remove any items supplied by the college and must store bed frames in their rooms if they choose to construct a loft.
