Housing Requirement for Second-Year Students
Gonzaga University's residency requirement includes both first-year and second-year students. Current first-year students who will be returning for their second academic year are required to live on campus and are guaranteed university housing.
Students should not make off-campus housing arrangements or sign a lease for the upcoming academic year unless they have been approved for an exemption through the Housing Exemption Request process.

General Room Selection
Students who complete the housing application by the January 31 deadline will receive a room selection timeslot. During their designated timeslot, students will log into ZagLiving and select their room for the 2027-2028 academic year.
Roommate Matching
Beginning February 1, 2027, students may search for and match with preferred roommates through ZagLiving.
Roommate groups are created within the housing application and must be established before room selection. Students may create, join, or leave roommate groups as needed throughout the roommate matching period.
Students are not required to have a roommate to participate in room selection. Students who do not match with a roommate will still be able to select housing and may be assigned a roommate later in the process.
During room selection, the student in the roommate group with the earliest selection timeslot will select housing for the entire roommate group. This allows the group to be assigned together in the same room, suite, apartment, or house, provided enough spaces are available to accommodate all members of the group.
Students should have a backup plan in the event that a space large enough to accommodate the entire roommate group is unavailable at the earliest selection timeslot. The student selecting for the group cannot split roommate group members across multiple spaces during the selection process.
For detailed instructions on creating and managing roommate groups, visit the Roommate Matching page.
Building Options
Rising second year students will be able to select from a range of apartment, and suite style buildings. You can read more about the styles of housing at Gonzaga here.
Information regarding specific buildings being available will not be provided until closer to selection night. For the most up to date information regarding building availability, we advise following us on Instagram @GonzagaHousing
We encourage and remind Zags to be flexible with this process. Not everyone who wants an apartment will be able to select one, just as not all groups of 4 or 6 students will be able to select a space to accommodate their whole group.
