Applying for Housing

Campus Housing is Not Guaranteed.

In the past the demand for campus housing has exceeded the supply so it is to your advantage to return the Housing Request and Enrollment Reservation Deposit as soon as possible.

Housing Priority

Two dates establish your campus housing priority:

  1. The received date of the Housing Request form
  2. The received date of the Enrollment Reservation Deposit

Housing Process Steps

Important Notice

Your admissions letter will give you a web address to the online Admissions Guidebook where you can access the proper Housing Request form. If you submit the "Presently Enrolled" version, it will be discarded.

1. Enroll at SSU

Once you are admitted to SSU, you will receive information about how to apply for Campus Housing.

2. Housing Request

You will need to complete and return the Housing Request form as soon as possible.

3. License Agreement

The offer of a Campus Housing Space and the license agreements are mailed on a space available basis to first time freshman who have the earliest received dates for the Housing Request form.

In order to reserve a campus housing space, you will need to sign and return the Housing License Agreement along with the Reservation Deposit prior to expiration date noted in your Offer Letter.

The agreements are mailed the middle of March for the Fall term and early November for the Spring semester.

4. Room Assignment Packet

Your room assignment packet is mailed either mid July for the Fall term or late December for the Spring term.

Assignment Requests Are Not Guaranteed

Every effort will be made to honor the room assignment requests you indicated on your returned License Agreement, but these requests are not guaranteed.

Your actual assignment depends on your Housing Priority Dates and the number of students with earlier priority dates who have requested the same accommodations.
