Room Selection

Apartments

Campus apartments are mixed in with DePaul buildings and our traditional residential halls. Campus apartments are fully furnished apartments with most including a kitchen and a shared living space. Campus apartments also feature wireless internet and laundry facilities within the building. 

During Winter Break, campus apartments do not close. Residents of Centennial Hall, Courtside Apartments, Sanctuary Hall, Sanctuary Townhomes, and Sheffield Square may remain on campus during winter break.

Traditional Residence Halls

Traditional residence halls are intended for incoming freshmen. However, LeCompte Hall offers a limited number of spaces to continuing undergraduate students who seek a more traditional dorm experience. Most students living in LeCompte Hall live in the double suite room type. The double suite room type is two bedrooms, each housing two students, that share an adjoining bathroom.

Students are not required to create a roommate group. Students who do not create a roommate group will be assigned roommates at random.

Students who do have roommates in mind will need to complete a roommate group within the housing agreement before March 27, 2026. Roommate groups cannot exceed four students total. 

Please note, one member of the group will be responsible for assigning each roommate's housing. By joining a roommate group, students are authorizing their roommate(s) to act on their behalf during the Room Selection process. Students will be held to the space selected for them by their roommate(s).

Students who require housing accommodations for medical reasons, including the need for a service or emotional support animal, must register with the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD). Students who complete their registration process with CSD before March 1 will receive priority for housing accommodations. Any accommodation requests that are submitted after March 1 will still be considered, but DePaul Housing & Residence Life's ability to grant the accommodation request will be based on availability.

All Lincoln Park Campus residents are required to have a meal plan. The minimum required meal plan for non-freshmen living in apartments is the Vincent 60, and the minimum required meal plan for non-freshmen living in traditional residence halls, including LeCompte Hall, is the Louise 80.

Housing Cancellation

There is no housing charge or commitment when completing the Housing Agreement for Room Selection. However, if a student is assigned to campus housing at Room Selection and needs to cancel after being assigned but prior to the start of their housing agreement, then there is a $1,500 cancellation fee. Further charges are applicable once the housing agreement has started. Please see Section 4 of the Terms & Conditions for the full cancellation policy. 

Meal Plan Cancellation

Signing the housing agreement holds students to the meal plan terms and conditions. If a student cancels their housing agreement, the meal plan will be cancelled for any future quarters. Full meal plan terms can be found in section 5 of the Terms & Conditions.
