Anna Maria College provides housing for full-time undergraduate students. Any questions regarding the Housing Application process should be directed to the Office of Residence Life.

For Incoming Students
We are excited to welcome our incoming students to life on campus! Housing assignments for incoming students are based upon the date the student deposits to the College. To apply for housing, complete the Housing Agreement. The Housing Agreement provides an opportunity for students to share their housing preferences, request a roommate and provide information that our staff will use to help pair you with a roommate if needed. The Housing Agreement also outlines the policies and expectations for residential students.

Incoming students should complete their Housing Agreement no later than July 26^th. Housing assignments and roommate information will be sent to all incoming students via their AMC email account no later than August 1^st.

We recommend that New Resident Students review this list to assist with items that you will need as you plan to move on campus this fall.

For Upperclass Students
Upperclass students select their housing assignments by participating in the housing lottery. The dates for the housing selection will be announced early each Spring and typically occur during March and April.

Selection of rooms by students eligible for Housing Lottery will be based on current class standing.  All eligible students will be randomly assigned a number based upon their current class standing.  Roommates will use the lowest number assigned.  (This means that rising seniors will be assigned the “best” numbers, then rising juniors followed by rising sophomores).  The number assigned to a student cannot be transferred to another student.  Honors students will be giving the best (lowest) numbers within their class.

Any specialty rooms must be full to be chosen. Specialty rooms include, but are not limited to, suites, quads, triples and any other non-standard double rooms. Swaps between specialty rooms after the semester has begun must have the approval from the Director of Residence Life and will not be approved if the move is designed to “beat” the system.

Majority Rule:  When choosing a room/suite the highest number of the majority class rules. Please see the examples below.

• 3 Seniors and 3 Juniors = may select using a senior #
• 3 Junior, 2 Seniors, 1 Sophomore = may select using a junior # not a senior #
• 2 sophomores, 1 junior, 1 senior = may select using a sophomore #
• 2 senior, 2 junior, 2 sophomores = may select using a junior #

The Residence Life Office reserves the right to reassign students to other rooms if the specialty room falls below full capacity at any time before opening day.

There will be a handful of traditional double rooms available for flex fill.  This means that if you are coming through lottery without being part of a roommate pair you will still be able to select a bed.  The second bed will be randomly assigned to another students. Lottery participants may not “hold” a space for those not eligible for lottery.
