UCC Residential Towers Frequently Asked Questions

In order to ensure that students’ transition from high school to college life is smooth and well-supported, Stevens prioritizes first-year students for on-campus housing.  Therefore, first-year students entering in the Fall will be assigned to currently available on-campus housing, space permitting. Sophomores who resided in on-campus housing the previous year and wish to continue to live on campus will have priority to live in the UCC Residential Towers. Additional on-campus housing assignments will be prioritized in the following order and according to available housing inventory:  juniors followed by seniors. 

Stevens will make every effort to follow these priorities, however, these plans may be changed at the University’s discretion.
