Helping parents understand dorm options, safety, accessibility, and what to expect at South Dakota State University.
SDSU assigns room selection windows based on how quickly a student completes their application after their personalized opening time slot. New students can apply starting October 7; returning students receive a randomly assigned opening time in late January. Completing the application within 24 hours of your opening time earns the earliest selection window; waiting longer places you in a later window or results in a manual assignment.
Roommate selection opens February 2. Living-Learning Community applications are due April 12. The full application window closes August 28.
