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.
