Housing Application

Spring 2027 Application

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.

Step 2: Submit the application fee

Submit your $50 application fee. Be sure to complete this step for your application to be fully submitted! 

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.

Note: Orientation registration will open in October! Click here to register for orientation.

Step 4: Select your room

Beginning November 5, students will receive an email with an update regarding Spring 2027 Room Selection. Due to extremely limited space, students who do not receive a room selection timeslot will be notified about our standby list process.

Spring 2027 Room Selection will begin on November 12.

Develop a list of possible buildings you wish to live in. As beds are limited in each building, you should create a list that includes multiple options in ranked order. Please keep in mind that availability is extremely limited! We highly recommend exploring off-campus housing options as a backup plan (see the Off-Campus Housing Support section for helpful resources). 

Explore on-campus hall options and view hall rates.

If you are interested in living in a Residential Community Program, please email livinglearning@usf.edu to see if any rooms are available in your desired RCP. 

Room Changes 

Based on availability, room changes will take place beginning January 25. Housing & Residential Education cannot guarantee that there will be rooms available for change.
