Room Selection Numbers & Times

BU Housing will notify students of their room selection number and selection time slots via their BU email address. Separate selection time slots for Same Room Pull-In, Internal and Community Room Selection will be emailed prior to the dates of each process.  If a student receives a selection time slot for one selection process and does not select a room, they will be sent a new selection date and time slot for the next selection process for which they are eligible.

Room selection time slots are generated based on a student’s room selection number, which are generated based on students’ official academic levels for the upcoming fall semester.  Please see the room selection number ranges below.

BU Housing uses the class standing on record for the Fall 2025 semester. The Office of the University Registrar is aware that there may be some inconsistencies with students’ academic levels. They are working with the individual schools and colleges to resolve these issues. If an update is made to your academic level, we will update your room selection number. Your room selection number could become higher or lower as a result.

Note: All non-degree MET students will receive sophomore numbers, regardless of how long they have lived in University housing.

If you find errors in your class year, current residence, and/or room number, do the following:

• Incorrect class year. Verify your academic level by checking it on the MyBU Student Portal. If the incorrect academic level appears on the MyBU Student Portal, contact the Office of the University Registrar to update your information. You must contact BU Housing with updated information to receive a new Room Selection number. You will not be issued a new Room Selection Number until the University’s system reflects the update.
• Wrong residence/room listed for Same Room. Contact BU Housing to verify your correct residence/room and to correct the documentation.
• No information received. Contact BU Housing.
