Housing Application

4 Steps to Living on Campus

STEP 1: complete the HOUSING APPLICATION

Complete the housing application in the Housing Portal.

  • All first-time-in-college campus residents are required to select a meal plan as part of the application.
  • The summer and fall/spring housing terms require two separate housing applications because they are two separate agreements. Please submit both applications if you are planning to live on campus for both the summer and fall/spring terms.

Step 2: submit the application fee

Submit your $50 application fee during the application process.


Step 3: complete Orientation reservation

Reserve and pay for your orientation session. Please make sure you have paid your application fee in order to register for an orientation time slot.
