Students with DSS Accommodations

2025-2026 Housing Registration for Students with DSS Accommodations

All students who have specific, approved room type accommodations are eligible to register during the DSS Housing Registration Period. Eligible room type accommodations include:

• Singles: Single (Suite Style), Single (Non Suite Style), Single (Any Style)
• Double
• Private Kitchen
• Private Bathroom
• Fully Accessible Units

If registering during this period, each student must register for housing while the DSS period is open. If a student fails to register for DSS housing during the published open dates, they will need to register during the General Housing Registration Period.

It is highly recommended by CLRE that if a student is currently in a room that meets their needs and the space is eligible for room renewal, the student should register during the room renewal period.

DSS Housing Registration Timeline

Please note that any student registering during the DSS period will only be able to access the DSS Housing Registration Form based on their accommodation status as of January 28, 2025. Students receiving specific room type accommodations after January 28, 2025 are recommended to register during the General Housing Registration Period and Campus Living & Residential Education will work to find an assignment that meets their approved accommodation.

2025-2026 Housing Rates

2025-2026 housing costs will be published on our website. Meal plans and associated rates are published on the GW Dining website.

Steps to Take to Participate in DSS Housing Registration

While DSS Housing Registration opens on Tuesday, January 28, students can begin some initial steps today.

Step #1: Create Roommate Groups (If Pulling-In Friends Into Anticipated Vacant Spaces)

Available Beginning January 16

Students with accommodations permitting multiple room occupants may request roommates if desired (i.e single (suite style), double occupancy accommodations, etc.)

• The student with the accommodation should create the group and be the Group Leader. Friends being pulled-in should be members of the group.

Students may begin to complete roommate matching questions, form roommate groups, and search for potential roommates in their GW Home portal starting Thursday, January 16.

Step #2: Individual With Accommodations Completes Housing Registration

Students with specific room type accommodations should complete the DSS Housing Registration Form between Tuesday, January 28 at 12:00 PM EST and Tuesday, February 11 at 4:00 PM EST.

If a student is pulling-in friends, those friends must first wait for their roommate group leader to register.

Step #3: Group Members Getting Pulled-In Complete DSS Housing Registration

Available January 28 - February 11

If a student is pulling-in friends during the DSS Housing Registration Period, once the group leader completes their registration, other group members being pulled-in may then complete their housing registration by choosing a meal plan and signing their Housing License Agreement.

Students must complete DSS housing registration by Tuesday, February 11 at 4:00 PM EST.

On or before February 19, Campus Living & Residential Education will release housing assignments for students participating in the DSS Housing Registration Period.
