About Selection Times

How housing selection times are assigned:

  • Your credits earned at Nazareth, any credits earned at another college, and the number of semesters you've lived on campus are used to determine your cohort — sophomore, junior, or senior standing for the upcoming fall semester.
  • High school AP credits or current credits in progress are not included.
  • Within each cohort, selection times are randomly assigned by computer.

Roommate Groups

  • When selection times are generated, each group member is assigned an individual selection time.
  • The person with the EARLIEST selection time can go in and place everyone in an assignment on selection day.
  • Once everyone is placed, the other group members are all set and can disregard their selection time.
