All Resident Members in good standing, with all outstanding balances paid, are invited to apply to renew their membership for all or part of the following academic year.
All eligibility requirements for admission must be met and qualifying documents must be provided to be considered for readmission. Readmission is not automatic or guaranteed, even in cases where eligibility is established, and is contingent upon approval by the Admissions Committee.
When to Apply
Readmission applicants receive priority for admission from February 1 – May 1. After May 1, readmission applicants are given equal consideration with new applicants.
All Resident Members who may need to stay at I-House during the upcoming academic year, even if their plans are not 100% finalized, are encouraged to apply early as they have time to finalize their plans before making a commitment. Readmission applicants who need to cancel their application can do so without penalty by July 1.
Readmission applicants who apply by March 1 can opt to keep the same room they have now or they can give up their current room and participate in room selection from Wednesday, March 6 – Sunday, March 10.
During room selection, returning residents can select their exact room from all the available rooms at I-House for the upcoming Academic Year. By participating in room selection, residents do not have to wait for a room change to be processed in order to change their rooms for the upcoming year!
Please note that residents may move into their new rooms beginning in mid-August as occupancy allows. Room changes are not permitted during the summer term.

If you cancel before July 1 you will receive a refund of the room reservation payment. If you cancel after July 1 you will forfeit the full $1,400 room reservation payment.
