Room Selection is the process by which current Augustana College students obtain campus housing for the upcoming year. There are many different housing options available to students at Augustana, so the best advice we can offer is to take your time to research your options and follow the guidelines. The more knowledge you have about the process, specific application procedures, and overall time lines, the better informed you will be when making decisions about your housing options.

Standing within the Room Selection process is determined by a student's high school graduation date. The process is designed to give next year’s senior class first priority, junior class second priority, and the sophomore class final priority. By using the high school graduation date, we are able to determine which students have lived in college owned housing the longest and should, therefore, be given preference.
