Welcome to a new chapter in your life!  We understand that there may be many questions that you have entering Canisius as a freshman.  This section has been designed especially to meet your needs. 

*Please note: Freshmen housing assignments will be sent out shortly after the last Orientation session of the summer. This allows all students a fair opportunity to meet others during the Orientation sessions, in case you wish to request a specific roommate. Changes may be made to online freshmen housing applications until July 16, 2009.
