2025-2026 Room Selection

Any current TCNJ student interested in living on campus for the 2025-2026 academic year will need to complete their Housing Application in order to participate in room selection.

To be eligible, students should apply for housing and sign the housing and dining contract by the application deadline. These students will then utilize their timeslot, which is randomly generated, to select a room and/or meal plan. Students who are a part of a roommate group can be assigned a bed by the member with the earliest timeslot. However, each student should still use their timeslot to select a meal plan for the upcoming academic year.

Information on the application timeline can be found below:
