Is on-campus housing guaranteed for my student?
Emory’s 2026–27 Residential Housing Agreement states that housing is guaranteed for first- and second-year students who are subject to the University’s two-year residency requirement, although a specific room, building, or room type is not guaranteed. Third- and fourth-year housing and transfer housing are offered based on available space.
Are first-year students required to live on campus?
Emory’s 2026–27 housing agreement establishes a two-year residency requirement covering first- and second-year students and students who have completed fewer than four earned fall/spring semesters. Students remain subject to that rule unless Housing approves an exemption.
How many years of on-campus housing are guaranteed?
For the standard Atlanta-campus undergraduate path, Emory’s 2026–27 agreement ties its housing guarantee to the first two years of the residency requirement. The guarantee is for housing generally, not for a chosen building, room type, or roommate.
When should my student apply for housing?
Emory’s 2026–27 first-year guide lists April 1, 2026 at noon as the application opening and June 1, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. as the application and roommate-matching deadline. The exact dates differ for second-year and upperclass processes, so students should use the guide for their class year.
Can my student apply for housing before being admitted?
Emory’s first-year housing guide places the housing application after admission and enrollment steps and directs incoming students to MyHousing. A prospective student who has not yet been admitted cannot complete the normal residence-hall application process.
Does applying early improve the chance of getting a preferred dorm?
Emory’s 2026–27 first-year guide says first-year students cannot select a specific residence hall and that housing assignments are randomized. Completing the application by the published deadline is what matters for the regular first-year process; submitting earlier does not create a priority ranking for a preferred first-year dorm.
What happens if my student does not receive housing or is waiting for space?
Emory guarantees housing to students covered by the first- and second-year residency requirement. Third- and fourth-year students can enter the upperclass housing process but housing is not guaranteed, and transfer housing is offered as space is available. Students awaiting space should keep following MyHousing and Housing Operations instructions rather than assume an assignment is secured.
Does a housing offer guarantee my student's preferred dorm or room type?
Emory’s 2026–27 agreement expressly preserves University discretion over assignments and says the guarantee is for University housing, not a particular facility or accommodation. First-year students also cannot choose a specific building.
Can my student get an exemption from a first-year live-on requirement?
Emory’s 2026–27 housing agreement provides a formal exemption path from the first- and second-year residency requirement. Approval is based on the University’s listed eligibility grounds and supporting documentation; students should keep the on-campus obligation in place until an exemption is approved.
What reasons qualify for a first-year housing exemption?
The 2026–27 Residential Housing Agreement lists specific exemption grounds for students otherwise subject to the first- and second-year residency requirement. These include a permanent residence within 30 miles of the Atlanta campus, a documented medical condition that cannot reasonably be accommodated through Emory’s disability-accommodation process, marriage, and a requirement to live with a dependent.
Is the Emory housing contract legally binding?
Once the student completes the agreement, the 2026–27 contract creates a binding obligation for the academic year, including fall, winter, and spring-break periods, subject only to its stated cancellation, exemption, and release provisions. Students under 18 require a parent or guardian co-signature.
Can we cancel the housing contract before move-in?
Emory requires cancellation requests through its housing process and reviews them under the 2026–27 agreement. For a full academic-year agreement, the published cancellation fee schedule is $200 through April 30, $400 in May, $800 in June, $1,600 in July, and $3,200 beginning August 1, subject to listed exemptions from fees.
Can my student get out of the housing contract after moving in?
The 2026–27 agreement provides a post-move withdrawal schedule. During weeks 1–5, the room refund percentage declines from 100% to 20% while the administrative fee declines from $600 to $200; beginning week 6 the agreement states there is no room refund. Other approved releases are governed by the contract’s eligibility and fee provisions.
What happens to housing if my student withdraws, transfers, graduates or studies abroad?
Emory’s 2026–27 agreement identifies circumstances such as December graduation, approved leave, and Emory-approved study abroad/study away among the situations that can support contract release or cancellation-fee relief. A student who is no longer enrolled must vacate as directed—generally within 48 hours after notice—and should complete the Housing cancellation process rather than simply stop occupying the room.
Can we sign an off-campus lease while keeping the dorm as a backup?
The 2026–27 agreement specifically advises students not to finalize off-campus housing until they have written approval of a housing cancellation or release. Signing another lease does not by itself end the Emory housing obligation, so a family could become responsible for both arrangements.
How and when are residence-hall charges billed?
Emory’s housing agreement provides that room charges are assessed by term to the student account. Student Accounts publishes September 2, 2026 as the Fall 2026 payment deadline. Families should use the student account for the actual posted amount and current deadline because billing dates can change by term.
What is the true annual cost of living in an Emory residence hall?
Emory publishes a standard residence-hall double at $6,248 per semester for 2026–27 and first-year Plan A at $4,584 per semester. That makes a representative double-room plus Plan A cost $10,832 per semester, or $21,664 across fall and spring. A single, triple, or another eligible housing/dining configuration changes the total.
Can financial aid be used to pay for on-campus housing?
Emory’s financial-aid cost-of-attendance framework includes housing and food. Aid is applied under the student’s overall financial-aid eligibility and student-account rules; the amount of aid available is not a separate housing guarantee.
Can scholarships pay for room and board?
Emory treats outside scholarships as part of the student’s total financial-aid package and applies aid within cost-of-attendance and eligibility limits. Because housing and food are part of cost of attendance, qualifying scholarship funds can help cover them, although individual scholarship restrictions still control.
Can student loans pay for on-campus housing?
Emory’s cost-of-attendance calculation includes housing and food, and financial aid is assembled against that budget. Loan eligibility, annual limits, and other aid determine how much is actually available to apply to the student account.
Can choosing a more expensive dorm affect how much aid my student receives?
Emory calculates aid using its cost-of-attendance and demonstrated-need framework. Residence-hall choices have different published prices, but an upgrade to a more expensive room does not itself promise additional need-based grant aid. Families should compare the actual room charge with the aid package and contact Financial Aid before relying on extra aid.
Are payment plans available for residence-hall housing?
Emory Student Accounts offers a Flywire payment plan. Current terms include an enrollment fee and installment structure; because housing charges post to the student account, eligible housing charges can be paid through the plan according to Student Accounts rules.
What happens if a housing payment is late?
Emory requires term charges to be paid by the published Student Accounts deadline. The 2026–27 housing agreement states that nonpayment can result in holds and can affect the student’s right to occupy or access University housing. Families should address a shortfall with Student Accounts before the due date.
What does Emory room and board include?
The 2026–27 residence-hall rate covers the student’s assigned housing. Residence-hall resources describe furnished rooms, wireless access, laundry facilities and other building services. Dining is priced separately under Emory Dining plans rather than being embedded in the room rate.
Is the meal plan included in the housing rate or charged separately?
For 2026–27, residence-hall room rates and dining-plan prices are published separately. First-year students are automatically enrolled in Plan A for fall and spring unless they make an eligible plan change, so the meal plan should be added to the room rate when comparing total on-campus cost.
Can a 529 plan be used to pay for Emory room and board?
Emory’s College Savings Plans page explains how 529 and prepaid-plan payments are processed. Because qualified higher-education treatment is governed by the plan and tax rules, families should have the plan provider send funds in time for Emory’s student-account deadline and confirm the eligible room-and-board amount with the plan or tax adviser.
Can my student choose a residence hall and room type?
Emory’s 2026–27 first-year guide says incoming first-year students do not select a particular residence hall. They can provide preferences such as single versus double and same-gender versus coed floor, but assignments are randomized and preferences are not guaranteed. Later class-year housing processes use different selection procedures.
When will my student receive their housing assignment?
Emory’s first-year guide lists July 15, 2026 at noon as the first-year assignment release. Students should check MyHousing and Emory communications for their actual assignment details and any later updates.
How are roommates assigned at Emory?
The 2026–27 first-year guide allows students to match with one roommate through MyHousing by June 1. Students who do not form a roommate group are assigned through the housing process; Emory notes that roughly half of first-year students receive a random roommate.
Can my student choose their roommate?
Emory’s 2026–27 first-year guide provides a roommate-matching process and June 1 deadline. Both students must complete the housing application and matching steps. A mutual request is considered in assignment, but the housing agreement does not guarantee any particular roommate.
How does Emory roommate matching work if my student does not pick someone?
Emory’s 2026–27 first-year guide says first-year assignments are randomized and notes that approximately half of first-year residents have a randomly assigned roommate. Families should evaluate compatibility through actual communication after assignment rather than assume the match predicts a conflict.
Is a requested roommate guaranteed?
The Residential Housing Agreement says Emory will attempt to honor mutual roommate requests when possible while retaining authority over assignments. A matched roommate group therefore improves coordination but does not create a contractual guarantee.
Can requesting a particular roommate reduce our room or dorm options?
Emory does not guarantee a requested roommate or particular housing assignment. Because first-year building assignments are randomized and a mutual roommate request requires an available space that can house the requested pair, families should treat the roommate request and room preferences as preferences rather than independent guarantees.
Can my student change their room or roommate before move-in?
Emory's current application and reassignment guidance treats room and roommate preferences as requests rather than guarantees. Once an assignment is issued, changes are handled through the applicable MyHousing reassignment, room-change, or housed-student waitlist process. The published Room Change process says requests are subject to availability and are not guaranteed; students should follow the process shown for their class year and contact Housing before acting on an assignment.
What should my student do if they do not get along with their roommate?
Emory Residence Life guidance emphasizes direct roommate communication and staff-supported conflict resolution. The policy guidance specifically cautions against trying to resolve roommate concerns through social media or by having family members intervene. Residence Life staff can help facilitate agreements or next steps.
Can my student change rooms after move-in?
Emory publishes a room-change process that requires the student to submit the request in MyHousing and wait for authorization before moving. Availability and the price of the new room can affect the result, and an unauthorized move is not the same as an approved assignment change.
What happens if my student's roommate moves out?
The 2026–27 housing agreement requires the remaining resident to keep a vacant roommate space ready for occupancy. Emory can assign a new resident, and the agreement also describes circumstances in which a buyout or consolidation may be offered or required. The remaining student does not automatically gain a private room.
My student looked up their roommate online and thinks they are incompatible. What should we do?
Emory Residence Life guidance specifically discourages using social media or family intervention to judge or resolve roommate compatibility. Students should talk directly about schedules, guests, sleep, cleanliness, shared items and other day-to-day expectations, then use staff mediation or the room-change process if a genuine conflict persists.
Are single rooms available?
Emory’s 2026–27 rates publish a standard single residence-hall rate of $7,348 per semester and a super-single rate of $7,777 per semester. The first-year guide allows students to state a single/double preference, while assignments remain randomized and room-type preferences are not guaranteed.
Is gender-inclusive roommate housing available?
Emory’s gender-inclusive housing program allows students to live with roommates or suitemates regardless of gender identity, subject to the program’s application and assignment process and available space. Incoming first-year students can participate with a mutually matched roommate.
Can students of different genders live together in an Emory residence-hall room?
Emory describes gender-inclusive housing as allowing roommates and suitemates of any gender identity. For first-year students, participation is coordinated through the housing application and roommate-matching process rather than by independently moving into another student’s assigned room.
What is a Living Learning Community at Emory?
Emory’s first-year guide describes residential communities and first-year experience programming designed to help students build connections and engage with campus life. Participation details and themes vary by residence hall and year, so families should use the current first-year guide rather than assume every hall has the same living-learning structure.
What is the difference between an RA and the professional residence-hall staff?
Emory’s residence-life structure uses student leaders in the halls alongside professional staff. For an everyday community or roommate concern, a resident can start with the student residential staff serving the floor/community; operational, conduct, assignment, or unresolved matters can be escalated to professional Residence Life or Housing Operations staff.
Who should my student contact first when something goes wrong in the dorm?
The best first contact depends on the problem. Roommate/community concerns belong with Residence Life staff; broken fixtures, pests, or facilities issues should be submitted through Emory’s Swoop work-order process, with urgent facilities issues reported to the published urgent number; an immediate safety or medical emergency should use 911 or Emory emergency resources.
What is the difference between traditional, connecting/private-bath and apartment-style Emory housing?
Emory publishes building-specific floor plans and room types. Traditional halls commonly use single/double bedrooms with shared community bathrooms; some halls have suite-style arrangements; Clairmont and other upperclass communities include apartment-style housing with more independent living features. The exact rate and amenities depend on the assigned building and room type.
How many students share a bathroom?
Emory’s residence-hall pages and floor plans show different bathroom configurations across buildings. A traditional community-bath assignment can involve many residents using shared facilities, while suites and apartments have bathrooms shared among the students assigned to that unit. There is no one university-wide number.
How big are Emory dorm rooms?
Emory residence halls contain different singles, doubles, triples and building layouts. Families should use the floor plan or building page for the student’s actual assignment when planning rugs, storage, or furniture because a university-wide average would be misleading.
What furniture is already provided?
Emory’s housing materials describe furnished residence-hall rooms and the housing agreement requires residents to keep University furniture in the assigned space rather than remove or structurally alter it. Students should review their building page and packing guidance before purchasing duplicate furniture.
What size sheets does my student need?
Emory’s current packing guidance identifies Twin XL as the standard residence-hall sheet size and notes building-specific exceptions, including some full-XL beds in Clairmont housing. For a first-year Atlanta-campus residence hall, Twin XL is the standard planning choice.
Can the bed be raised, bunked or lofted?
Emory’s residential policies prohibit home-built lofts and require University furniture to remain in the room. Students should use the bed as designed and follow Housing instructions for any permitted height or bunk adjustment rather than bring a separate lofting structure.
Do Emory residence halls have air conditioning?
Current Emory residence-hall pages list air conditioning among building amenities. The exact system and resident control vary by hall, so a student with a temperature-related disability should use the Department of Accessibility Services process rather than rely on a portable appliance.
Can my student bring a portable air conditioner?
Emory’s current shipping and packing guidance restricts appliances and equipment that create electrical, fire, or facilities concerns. Portable air conditioners are not an approved substitute for the building HVAC system; a disability-related temperature need should be addressed through Accessibility Services.
Can my student bring a refrigerator and microwave?
Emory’s current packing guidance permits one UL-approved mini-refrigerator or microfridge per room, with the published refrigerator size limit of 3.0 cubic feet. Standalone microwaves are prohibited in traditional and suite-style rooms unless part of an approved microfridge configuration.
What appliances and items are prohibited in the dorm?
Current Emory housing guidance prohibits or restricts items such as freestanding microwaves in traditional/suite housing, space heaters, hot plates, toaster ovens, certain cooking appliances, extension cords, halogen lamps, candles/open flame, and other listed hazards. Students should use the current packing list because the exact prohibited-item list can change.
Can students decorate their dorm rooms?
Students may personalize their rooms, but Emory’s residential policies restrict methods and materials that damage surfaces or create fire and life-safety hazards. Residents are responsible for room condition and any damage charges at move-out.
Is extra storage available for belongings that do not fit in the room?
Emory’s housing guidance states that storage is not available in residence facilities and that the University does not provide storage for breaks or study-abroad/study-away periods. Students who need storage must arrange an outside option; Emory may list a third-party vendor without making the belongings University property.
How does laundry work?
Laundry facilities are provided in the residence-hall system. Current Emory residential policy materials state that the cost is included rather than collected separately at the machines. Students should use building instructions for machine availability and service issues.
Does housekeeping clean my student's bedroom?
The housing agreement makes residents responsible for maintaining their assigned space and returning it in appropriate condition. Emory’s residential operations maintain common facilities, but students should plan to clean their own bedrooms and, where applicable, the private or apartment areas assigned to them.
What happens if something breaks in the room?
Emory Housing directs residents to the Swoop work-order system for repairs and facilities requests. The maintenance page also provides an urgent-contact path for issues that need prompt response. Students should report problems early rather than attempt electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or structural repairs themselves.
Is Wi-Fi included in residence halls?
Wireless connectivity is provided in Emory residence halls. Building pages list wireless access among hall amenities, so families do not need to purchase a separate residential internet plan for ordinary campus Wi-Fi service.
How does mail and package delivery work?
Emory’s shipping and packing guidance provides campus mailing formats and directs students to the appropriate Mail Services process, including their assigned MSC/mailbox information. Families should wait for the student’s current mailing details before shipping because the correct address and pickup location depend on the assignment and mail service.
Can first-year students bring a car?
Emory Transportation’s current student-parking guidance restricts residential first-year students from campus parking. Students with a qualifying exception should work through Transportation and the applicable exception process instead of bringing a car expecting to obtain a normal resident permit.
Can parents and other family members visit the residence hall?
Emory’s residential policies allow visitation in residential areas and require residents to respect roommates and community security. A resident host is responsible for guests and should coordinate visits with roommates. Visitors do not receive independent residence-hall access rights.
What are quiet hours?
Emory’s published residential policies establish overnight quiet hours and a continuing courtesy standard. Finals and other designated periods can carry extended quiet-hour expectations, so residents should follow current hall notices in addition to the baseline schedule.
Can overnight guests stay in my student's room?
Emory’s residential policy permits visitation while requiring the host to respect roommate rights and community rules. It defines long-term guests as stays of three nights or longer and prohibits that arrangement, so an overnight guest may stay only within the short-visit rule.
Is alcohol allowed in Emory residence halls?
Emory’s residential policies prohibit alcohol possession or consumption by students under 21. Residents who are 21 or older may possess or consume alcohol in their assigned room or apartment under the policy, while use in common/community areas is restricted unless specifically authorized.
Are pets allowed in residence halls?
Emory residential policy generally prohibits pets but permits fish with roommate consent in a tank no larger than two gallons. Service animals and approved assistance/emotional-support animals are handled through disability-access procedures and are not treated as ordinary pets.
Should my student have renter's or personal-property insurance?
Emory Housing recommends rental/personal-property insurance and explains that the University is not responsible for a resident’s belongings in the ordinary course. Families should review homeowner-policy coverage or purchase a student policy that matches the value and risks of the student’s property.
If my student's belongings are stolen or damaged, will Emory reimburse us?
The 2026–27 housing agreement places responsibility for personal belongings on the resident and Emory separately recommends rental insurance. A theft, leak, or other loss should still be reported to the appropriate University office and insurer, but families should not assume the University will reimburse the value of the property.
How safe are Emory residence halls?
Residence-hall safety is layered rather than guaranteed by any one measure. Emory residential policies address secured exterior doors and guest access, Emory Police provides campus law-enforcement resources, and the University maintains emergency notification and fire/life-safety procedures. The best objective comparison is the current Annual Security and Fire Safety Report and crime information.
Where can I see Emory's crime and safety record?
Emory Police publishes official crime and safety information, including links to Clery-required annual security/fire reporting and related statistics. Those disclosures are the authoritative source for comparing reported campus crime and fire data over time.
Are dorm buildings locked?
Emory’s residential policies require residents to help maintain secured-building access by using designated entrances, carrying their credentials, and not propping or bypassing locked doors. Guests must be hosted rather than given independent access.
Is there late-night transportation or an escort service?
Emory Transportation publishes SafeRide as a free on-demand service operating overnight for the Emory community. The current page lists service from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., 365 days a year, within the service area. Students should have the current request method available before they need a late-night ride.
What happens during a residence-hall fire alarm?
Emory’s residential fire-safety policies require evacuation in response to fire alarms and prohibit interference with fire/life-safety equipment. Residents should leave promptly, use designated exits, remain clear of the building, and wait for official instructions before returning.
How will my student know about a campus emergency?
Emory’s emergency-notification guidance describes a multimodal alert system so urgent information can reach students in more than one way. Students should keep their contact information current and install/configure the University’s available safety tools rather than depend on a parent to relay emergency information.
What should my student do if they become seriously sick or injured in the dorm?
Emory Student Health Services directs students to 911 for life-threatening emergencies and publishes campus emergency and after-hours options, including Emory Police/Emergency Medical Services and nurse/clinical resources. Residence Life staff can help with the housing side of an incident, but emergency medical care should not wait for a housing-office response.
Will the college call me if my student becomes sick?
Emory Student Health explains that student health information is protected and that postsecondary student records have privacy protections. A parent should not expect an automatic call for routine sickness. In a serious health or safety emergency, FERPA and applicable health-record rules can permit disclosure to appropriate parties, including parents, when necessary.
Can I call Housing and ask what is happening with my student's room or roommate problem?
Housing staff can provide general policy and process information to a parent. Details about a particular student’s assignment, conduct matter, roommate issue, or other education-record information are subject to FERPA. The student can work directly with Housing and can authorize access where Emory’s procedures allow.
Can parents access a college student's education records if the student is our tax dependent?
Emory’s Registrar identifies the FERPA exception that permits the University to disclose education records to parents when the student is a dependent for federal income-tax purposes. Because FERPA exceptions permit rather than require disclosure, families should follow Emory’s current authorization or records-request process instead of assuming unrestricted access.
Can Emory tell parents about an under-21 alcohol or drug violation?
Emory’s FERPA guidance lists an exception allowing disclosure to parents when a student under 21 has been found responsible for violating law or University policy concerning alcohol or controlled substances. That permission does not mean every incident automatically results in parent notification.
Does FERPA still apply if my Emory student is only 17?
Emory legal guidance states that once a student is in attendance at a postsecondary institution, FERPA rights rest with the student even when the student is under 18. Parents can receive protected education-record information only with student consent or when a FERPA exception permits disclosure.
Can the college contact parents during a serious health or safety emergency?
Emory’s FERPA guidance includes the health-or-safety-emergency exception. Student Health privacy materials likewise recognize emergency disclosure pathways. The University determines what information is necessary and whom it is appropriate to contact based on the circumstances.
How does my student request disability-related housing accommodations?
Emory DAS handles disability-related housing requests, including room, bathroom, bed, and related residential needs. Incoming first-year students are encouraged to complete the process by June 1 for the strongest chance of implementation before assignment; later requests are still reviewed but may be constrained by available space.
If an accommodation is approved, does that guarantee a particular dorm or room?
Emory DAS states that housing accommodations are implemented subject to available space and the approved functional need. The 2026–27 housing agreement also preserves University assignment authority. If the exact requested configuration is unavailable, Housing and DAS may use another reasonable option or a waitlist process.
Can my student have a service animal or emotional-support animal in campus housing?
Emory DAS includes assistance-animal needs within its accommodation framework, while residential policy distinguishes approved service/assistance animals from ordinary pets. A student seeking an emotional-support/assistance animal should complete the DAS process and receive written authorization before bringing the animal into University housing.
What if my student has a severe food allergy or special dietary need?
Emory Dining publishes a dining-accommodation process for food allergies, medical dietary needs, and religious considerations. Disability-related restrictions can involve DAS documentation and coordination with a dietitian or Dining staff so the plan addresses the student’s actual needs.
Is a meal plan required if my student lives in an Emory residence hall?
Emory Dining’s 2026–27 student-plan materials state that residential students participate in a dining plan. First-year students receive Plan A for fall and spring and may change only among options for which they are eligible during the change period.
Can my student change the residence-hall meal plan?
Emory Dining publishes eligible plan choices by class year and a formal plan-change process. First-year students are automatically enrolled in Plan A and may select an eligible alternative such as Plan K during the allowed change period. Current Dining guidance limits a student to one change in a semester.
What happens to unused meal swipes or Dine In Dollars?
Emory’s dining-plan materials distinguish meal access from Dooley Dollars. Current terms state that unused meal swipes are semester-based and do not roll to the next semester, while Dooley Dollars can carry forward within the academic-year cycle and then expire under Dining’s published rules.
When exactly can my student move in, and do they need an appointment?
Emory’s Fall 2026 move-in page lists August 22, 2026 for first-year and transfer students who are not participating in a pre-orientation program and August 23 for returning residents. The move-in process uses assigned or selected time information in MyHousing, so families should follow the student’s specific appointment details rather than arrive at an arbitrary time.
Can my student move in early?
Emory’s Fall 2026 move-in guidance provides an Early Move-In Request in MyHousing for individual requests, with requests available no earlier than July 15 and a published $100-per-day charge when approved. Students arriving through an approved pre-orientation or University program follow that program’s instructions instead of making a duplicate individual request.
What should we bring, and what should roommates coordinate before move-in?
Emory’s shipping-and-bringing guidance tells roommates to coordinate items that a room needs only one of—especially approved refrigerator/microfridge arrangements and other bulky shared items—and publishes both recommended and prohibited items. Families should also use the student’s actual room assignment for dimensions and building-specific amenities.
What happens at move-out, and what do we do with belongings?
Emory’s Spring 2027 move-out page lists May 7, 2027 at noon for residents not approved for commencement housing and May 11, 2027 at 2 p.m. for approved commencement-related residents. The housing agreement requires residents to vacate after their academic obligations, remove personal property, return the room in required condition, and return keys/access items. Emory does not provide residence-hall storage for leftover belongings.
