3. Log into your my.alfredstate.edu

Group Housing Process and Information

Our group process allows a group to sign up for a MacKenzie Rowhouse, MacKenzie Commons Apartment, Townhouse, MacKenzie Rowhouse, or Main Gate Suite for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Group sizes can range from 1 - 12 people.

Groups can be COED (male/female/non-binary persons) living together. Those that wish to live in a COED area will need to agree to live in a COED area later in the form.

Areas that are single rooms: MacKenzie Commons Apartments and Townhouses. All other areas are double occupancy rooms.

If your group does not fill the space in which they are placed, another group may be added to fill the remaining space. The combined groups will be based on the group criteria (i.e. single gender or COED).

While the Office of College Housing strives to accommodate all requests, placement cannot be guaranteed. Final assignments are contingent upon the size of the applicant pool and current housing availability.

Groups that are placed through our group process do not need to sign up for rooms during individual sign-ups.

Those that leave the group placements are not guaranteed to be placed back into the previous placement.

Groups are scored and placed based on a matrix of the following information:

• Years in residence
• GPA
• Accrued credit hours
• Judicial history (negative score)

If you have any questions, please contact Residential Services at 607-587-4371 or email: reslife@alfredstate.edu.
