What housing is available at Emory?

Emory’s housing pages point students to residence halls on the Atlanta and Clairmont campuses, with options for first-year, second- and upper-year students, plus amenities, rates, and room details listed on the Residence Halls page. Housing Operations also uses the MyHousing portal for applications and roommate matching.

  • Official housing hub: Residence Life and Housing Operations at Emory.
  • Residence halls are grouped by student year and campus.
  • MyHousing is the place to handle the housing application and roommate matching.

What are the current move-in and move-out dates?

For Fall 2026, Emory lists move-in for all incoming first-year and transfer students not in a pre-orientation program on Saturday, August 22, and returning second-, third-, and fourth-year students on Sunday, August 23. Classes begin Wednesday, August 26. For Spring 2027, move-in is Friday, January 8, classes begin Tuesday, January 12, and move-out dates are Friday, May 7 for students not participating in commencement and Tuesday, May 11 for students with departmental approval to participate.

  • Fall 2026 dates are posted on the housing site.
  • Spring 2027 dates are posted on the housing site.
  • All dates are subject to change, so check the housing page before you book travel.

What should students know about summer housing or staying put?

If you plan to stay on campus for summer sessions, Emory says to email housing@emory.edu to see whether you are eligible to remain in the same room. That means summer stay plans need a direct eligibility check rather than an assumption based on your current assignment.

  • Summer continuation is eligibility-based.
  • The housing page directs students to email housing@emory.edu.
  • Do not assume the same room carries over automatically.

What is the living setup like at Clairmont?

Clairmont Campus includes three University Housing complexes: Clairmont Tower, the Undergraduate Residential Center, and Clairmont Residential Center. The posted descriptions say CRC apartments have private bedrooms and private bathrooms plus a living area and full kitchen, and the URC houses up to four residents per apartment with a living area, full kitchen, and two full bathrooms.

  • Clairmont is the apartment-style side of Emory housing.
  • CRC and URC are the clearest examples of private-bedroom apartment living.
  • The Clairmont Campus page says it is less than a mile from Emory’s central campus.
