Sophomore Year Housing

Rising Sophomores (Class of '29) Will Reserve Housing For Next Fall in March, 2026!

At UP, rising juniors, seniors, and grad students choose their housing for next year in the Fall semester of the current year, and rising sophomores choose in the spring semester of the current year. There will be a 2026-2027 housing selection process for rising sophomores in March, 2026. More information will be added to this page and emailed to students during the Spring semester. 

Two Year Residency Requirement & Experience

In support of the residential nature of UP and our emphasis on community, and based on longstanding research linking on campus housing with student and academic success in college, all full-time undergraduate students are required to live on campus during their first and second years at UP. For the purposes of this requirement, class year is based on total number of academic years in college.

Two Year Residency Requirement Exemptions

Students who will be in their second year of college may request to be exempt from UP's two-year residency requirement. 

Exemptions will only be approved in cases where both of the following criteria are met:

2. The student will be residing at an address that is within a 20-mile radius of the UP campus.

A housing requirement exemption request form for rising sophomores who meet the above criteria will be available on this website soon.
