Meal Plan Selection Process

Incoming first-year students residing in Canavan Hall are required to carry the 19-meal plan which will be automatically assigned.

Incoming upper class transfer students living in the Campus Apartments or Canavan Hall upperclassmen areas must select one of the four meal plan options.

Incoming First-Year Housing Information

  • First-years are housed together in Canavan Hall suites. Suites are comprised of one double and one triple room adjoined by a bathroom, for a total of 5 students per suite. 
  • Within Canavan Hall, males and females are divided by room on every floor.
  • Students must complete an application and create a roommate group, or find roommates using eRezLife's Roomeez portal! If you are not able to fill your space, Housing and Residence Life will do its best to pair you with compatible roommates based on your housing application.
  • Roommate information will be communicated via Daemen email in mid-July.
  • Note: We cannot guarantee double space requests as our total requests exceed our double spaces. Students in roommate groups of two and four are not guaranteed a double space, and may be placed within a triple space. Students requesting a double accommodation due to medical/disability-related reasons, may complete a Petition for Housing Accommodation Form regarding their need.

Incoming Transfer Student Housing Information

  • Incoming upper class transfer students will be housed in the Campus Apartments or Canavan Hall upperclassmen areas.
  • Once the $200 Housing Deposit is paid to the Admissions Office, students will be able to login to eRezLife and begin the housing application process. Students will need to complete an application & select a meal plan. Housing and Residence Life will assign a room based on the preferences as outlined within the Housing Application. 
  • Roommate information will be communicated via Daemen email in August.
