1
2026–2027 Housing Applications
The priority application window for 2026-2027 housing has closed. However, we are continuing to accept housing applications on a rolling basis.
At this time, housing is fully occupied and there is an active waitlist. Applications submitted after the priority window will be added to the waitlist for consideration as availability occurs.
Please note that housing is not guaranteed. As units become available due to cancellations or other changes in availability, the Housing Office will contact applicants and make housing assignments based on unit preferences indicated on the application and available inventory at that time.
Applicants who remain interested in housing are encouraged to submit an application so they may be considered as future availability occurs.

CHOOSE YOUR RESIDENCE OPTIONS
We have spaces suitable for students who are arriving single, partnered, or with a family. During the application process, you’ll have a chance to rank your room/apartment preferences. If you’re a single student applying for a shared apartment, be sure to complete the Lifestyle Questionnaire within the application to search for compatible roommates. Those who are already matched with roommates may apply together.
Shared unit assignments are more likely due to high demand for single units (studios and one-bedroom apartments).

CONFIRM YOUR HOUSING ASSIGNMENT
Assignments are made according to your ranked preferences and space availability. Once you receive a housing assignment by email, sign your housing license online and submit a deposit by the deadline (within 72 hours) to confirm it. Complete instructions will be included in the housing assignment notification sent to your *Cornell email.
An active Net ID is required to apply – it is important to activate your NetID and Cornell email account promptly once you receive the activation instructions from Admissions.
*All official Cornell Tech Housing communications are sent to your Cornell University email address, and we strongly recommend checking your inbox regularly.
