Time for some bed lofting!
We got your request.

Check your student email for confirmation. Don't forget that if you're moving in before the halls officially open, you need to sign up for early arrival.

Lofting your bed is one way to maximize the space in your room. We can help you choose the right loft for you.

Junior loft is the standard bed height in all residence halls. If you would like to keep your bed set at junior loft, there’s no need to submit a request. You're all set! If you would like to change your bed to a low loft, you can submit a request by clicking the button below. High lofts are no longer an option in any of the residence halls.

request a low loft

Your first loft request is free. If you change your mind about how you want your bed lofted after we've already completed your request, the fee for each additional request is $50.

Loft requests must be received by Aug. 1 to ensure we can complete the set up by fall move-in. Loft requests are not accepted after Sept. 1.

We are no longer accepting bed lofting requests for students that moved into the residence halls in August.

If you just moved into the residence halls or will move in soon, complete a work request to request a bed loft.

Make a Loft Request

If you are moving into a new room starting in the spring, you can make a loft request.

Fall residents:
We will accept bed lofting requests for the fall semester starting in mid-June.


Current spring residents:
Complete a work request to request a bed loft if you are a student that has just moved into the residence halls. We are no longer accepting bed loft requests from students already living on campus.
