You’ll receive e-mail confirmation of your application after you pay your $50 housing application processing fee. Review the information in your e-mail for accuracy. You may also check the status of your housing application through your MyHousing account online.

You won’t be officially offered a housing contract unless you’re admitted to the university and until you accept your admission by satisfying your enrollment deposit.

Admitted first-time freshmen who apply for housing are offered housing contracts beginning in November of each year. You will receive electronic notification when your contract is offered. Be sure to keep your e-mail address updated.

To accept your housing offer, you must print, complete and sign your contract and return it to the Division of Housing and Food Service along with a $300 advance payment before the indicated expiration date (contracts and payments not returned by the expiration date will be cancelled). After you check in to the residence hall, you are bound to your contract for the contract period. If you decide not to attend the university, you may cancel your contract before May 1 to avoid cancellation fees.

You’ll have the opportunity to rank your residence hall preferences and list a roommate(s) (if you have someone in mind) when we offer you a housing contract. (Requests for specific residence halls are not guaranteed.)

It’s very important for you to indicate your housing preferences online as soon as you have accepted your housing contract. Housing preferences for the Long Session must be completed by July 1.

In mid-July, you’ll receive an e-mail with your residence hall, room number, your roommate’s name and e-mail address. You’ll also receive details about the move-in process.
