OTHER STUDENT TYPES: Fall 2027 - Spring 2028

Housing Information

Housing and Residence Life wants YOU to live with us in Fall 2027 - Spring 2028!

All STUDENT POPULATIONS NOT CLASSIFIED AS A FIRST-YEAR STUDENT and students not currently living on campus should submit their housing contract as soon as possible, but no later than January 29, 2027.

Follow the steps below:

STEP 1 (Required):

Fully submit the Fall 2027 - Spring 2028 Housing Contract in as early as possible.

The earlier a student fully completes all steps of the housing contract submission process in myHousing, the higher chance the student has to participate in the online room selection process. Deadline: January 29, 2027

STEP 2 (Optional):

Complete the Living-Learning/Theme Community application.

Living-Learning and Theme Communities offer a fun, supportive and meaningful way to build lasting connections and feel at home on campus.

For information on communities please visit Living-Learning and Theme Community webpage.

STEP 3 (Required):

If eligible, mark your calendar for online room selection process: March 1 - 5, 2027

To choose your priority bed space, fully participate in the scheduled online room selection process. If you miss your ticket window, your chance of selecting your preferred bed space is lessened. Please note that simply not participating does not release you from the terms and conditions of your signed binding housing contract.

STEP 4 (Required):

If assigned a bed space, mark your calendars for move-in

Information on the move-in process will be released mid-July 2027.

Wednesday, August 11, 2027: Accepted Living-Learning and Theme Community (LLCTC) participants move-in will occur via appointment. We will not allow any early move-ins into any space prior to the designated date of August 11, 2027. Plan in advance and secure a hotel in the area for your early arrival. Visit the following link for a listing of hotels in the area: .

Saturday, August 14, 2027: Move-in for the remaining students (Non-LLCTC students) will occur via appointment. Early arrivals will not be accommodated or permitted. If you need to be in the ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ area prior to that date, please visit the  for a list of accommodations.

Housing Areas

What type of areas will be available during the online room selection process?


When the online room selection process begins, you can expect to see the following room types. As the online room selection process continues hour-by-hour students can anticipate the number of available rooms/beds in each facility will decrease as students participate in the process. Please select the Residence Halls to view floor plans and walkthroughs of each space.

Osprey Fountains

Approximately half of the bed spaces will be for females and half for males. Some Osprey Fountains bed spaces will initially be limited to participants in Living-Learning/Theme Communities.

Approximately half of the beds will be for females and half for males. These bed spaces are in 1-bedroom apartments (2 students per bedroom) and 2-bedroom apartments (2 students per bedroom).

The Flats at ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ

Approximately half of the apartments and beds will be for females and half for males. These bed spaces are in 2-bedroom apartments and 3-bedroom apartments.

  • The Flats at ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ contract is approx. a 11.5-month contract, paid in 12 rent installments.

  • You need year-round housing (fall, spring and summer)
  • You appreciate the ability to make rent installments (monthly payment)
  • You want traditional apartment living with an individual contract

Don't Consider Living at The Flats at ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ if…

  • You do not anticipate the need for year-round housing (fall, spring and summer)
  • You will be engaging in an internship, student teaching/practicum or study-abroad experience that will take you away from Jacksonville
  • You will be graduating at the end of the fall or spring semester and plan to leave Jacksonville

Osprey Ridge

It is anticipated that the majority of Osprey Ridge will be Honors Living-Learning/Theme Housing space for first-year and upper-class Honors students for Fall 2027 - Spring 2028. Current Honors students interested in living in Osprey Ridge should submit the 2027 - 2028 Living-Learning/Theme Community (LLC/TC) Application. In your LLC/TC application, indicate your preference for Honors Horizons or Global Honors Theme Communities. 

Preparing for Upper-Class Room Selection

Current Residents with a completed housing contract before the deadline will need to ensure they have read and completed the following, as applicable:

  1. Ensure ALL roommate preferences within myHousing are up-to-date.
    1. Both you AND your desired roommate(s) must be in the same Roommate Group to be considered as a mutual request.
    2. It is important to be pro-active in accepting or declining roommates within myHousing to prevent any issues during the Room Selection process.
    3. Some rooms/apartments/suites and/or individual bed spaces may not be available for assignment during the room selection process due to Living-Learning Communities, Theme Housing, ADA needs, etc. Housing and Residence Life will communicate directly with students impacted by their space being unavailable prior to the online room selection process.
  2. If you are seeking a medical or disability accommodation, please contact the ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ Student Accessibility Center.
