Helping parents understand dorm options, safety, accessibility, and what to expect at Eastern Kentucky University.
EKU uses a lottery-based priority system for new students. Incoming students who complete their application by March 1 qualify for priority room selection: they receive a randomly assigned lottery time in early April and self-select rooms April 8–30. Students who miss the March 1 deadline enter a general selection pool, with selection times assigned in early May and rooms chosen May 6–29. Applications after May 29 are considered late and selection occurs in late July.
Roommate matching opens March 2 for all incoming students. Students must complete the Housing Portal application, pay the Colonel Commitment Fee, and fill out the Roommate Questionnaire to be considered for matching.
