Mark your calendars! The 2025-2026 academic year housing selection process will begin on Saturday, January 11, 2025.
Because interest in on-campus housing exceeds the number of beds available, not all students who want to live on campus will be able to do so. The Spelman College Office of Housing & Residence Life urges students and families to start the planning process now.
Get started.
