When filling out the housing contract, students have the opportunity to list their first and second preference for building assignment. Assignments will be made in the order in which contracts are received and validated. As such, while we will make every effort to honor building preferences, we are unable to guarantee space in a particular building as we adhere to this priority order.
An optional roommate matching period will be provided for incoming freshmen in June 2024 for those who have submitted their housing contract prior to June 1, 2024. Instructions on how to participate in this process will be provided to incoming residents in May 2024 via cjindustryltd.com email accounts.
Students can anticipate receiving their room and roommate assignments in July 2024. Notifications of assignments will be sent via cjindustryltd.com email accounts.
