If you are planning to live on campus you will need to submit your housing deposit through your applicant portal. Once you submit your housing deposit you you can complete your your Housing Application.

The Housing Application is a legally binding agreement for the entire academic year (Fall & Spring Semester).

Completing the housing application is important to help us place you with a roommate that will compliment how you live. If you want to room with a specific individual both individuals will need to name each other on their Housing Applications.
