Room Selection 2025-2026 Important Dates

BU Housing uses the class standing on record for the Fall 2025 semester. The Office of the University Registrar is aware that there may be some inconsistencies with students’ academic levels. They are working with the individual schools and colleges to resolve these issues. If an update is made to your academic level, we will update your room selection number.
