    Singles for 2021/2022

    Singles for the 2021/2022 academic year will return to the full rate and will be based on availability in the halls.  Additional singles will be made available based on the occupancy of the floor/building. The singles wait list is currently available.

    Rates for single and double rooms will be available after the Board meeting in mid to late March.

    First year students who would like a single may also fill out the singles wait list.  Priority is given to those who fill out the form before June 12th.  

    The single room is for the duration of the academic year. If later in the semester or year you wish to switch your room to a double, you must have a roommate identified or be willing to switch rooms.

    Based on need, a certain number of singles are available in each community. First Year Students will only be considered for singles in Shiple Hall. Upper class students will only be considered for singles in Holden Hall and the Quads. If there is not a single available in your preferred building, you can either choose a single in a different building or select to be in a double room.

    Singles Wait List 

    Students seeking a single as an accommodation would not be charged the single discounted rate, but the double rate of the room.  Please contact Laura Bagdady (bagdadlm@udemercy.edu) with Disability & Accessibility Support Services to begin your housing related accommodation request.
