Graduate students who will not live with a spouse/domestic partner and/or children should complete the standard Housing APPLICATION - do not complete the FAMILY application.

Any undergraduate or graduatestudent who plans to live with their spouse/domestic partner and/or children should complete the FAMILY application.

How do I choose a one-bedroom apartment when I apply?

Students submit a housing application for a "bed-space" on campus. You will assign yourself to a specific room and bed space from the available inventory at the time you self-assign. You do not choose a room or room type or specify any preference when you apply for housing.

How does the self-assign process work? When will I select my room?

Family and Graduate Student Housing:

Students are assigned a time-ticket with aday and time to login to My Housing and select aroom during the self-assign process in March. Time-tickets are assigned as follows:

  • New Students: Time-tickets areassigned in the order applications are received.
  • CurrentStudents: Time-tickets are assigned by level,based on the number of Georgia Techcredit hours earned starting with Ph.D. students. More credit hours = more choices.
What if no one-bedroom apartments are available when it is my time to self-assign?

You will need to select from the available inventory. If there are no one-bedroom apartments available, you can select an available bedroom in a two-bedroom apartment or choose to cancel your application.

How does self-assign work if I want to live with a roommate?

After you successfully complete your housing application, you can choose a roommate from other graduate students who have also successfully completed the housing application.

During the self-assign process, the student with the earlier time-ticket can assign both themself and their roommate to available bedrooms in a two-bedroom apartment.

Students who have selected a roommatewill have the option to self-assign to furnishedtwo-bedroom apartments only.

My intended roommate is on the waitlist.How can I ensure we are together?

Students on the waitlist cannot be selected during the roommate selection process. If your intended roommate gets off the waitlist after self-assign occursand someone else is assigned to your apartment, you can use room swap to get together.

My domestic partner is planning to live with me in on-campus housing, am I required to provide documentation?

Yes. You may apply for FAMILY housing and indicate that you have a domestic partner. Please visit the Resource tab in the My Housing portal to upload the approved domestic partner documentation from the Dean of Students prior to move-in.

Is my spouse or domestic partner required to complete an application?

No. Only the Georgia Tech student should apply for FAMILY Housing. The applicant will provide their spouse/domestic partner and/or children's information on the application.

If your spouse or domestic partner is also a Georgia Tech student, only one of you should complete the application.

I am getting married after the application process begins but prior to the start of the term. Can I still apply for FAMILY housing?

Yes. If you plan to live with your spouse on-campus, apply for FAMILY Housing and provide your fiancé's details on the application.
