What are Housing Applications?

Housing Applications refer to the processes by which eligible individual students or groups of students secure housing through an application.  Students who are assigned housing through a Housing Application process may not participate in a Lottery Event or be assigned through any other assignment process.  Students who withdraw from an assignment made through one these Housing Application processes will be reassigned over the summer through the wait list.  Students who are not accepted into a process will be able to participate in subsequent Processes.

 

Commuter Status

Students looking to change to commuter status must submit a Commuter Status Request in MyHousing by stated deadline.  Residence Life staff may verify the commuter request information with your parent(s). Upon final verification, your commuter status will be confirmed in writing by the Residence Life Office. If verification is not obtained, you will be expected to participate in the housing lottery or secure housing through another established process.
Once approved, you will maintain commuter status without submitting subsequent applications.

The Monroe Neighborhood

Students interested in establishing a Monroe House will submit an application outlining a proposed topic of interest and supporting program ideas.   Applicants are expected to review the Monroe Neighborhood Expectations before applying.  A vital step is to obtain support from a faculty member or administrator who has an interest and/or expertise in your topic.  All houses in the Monroe Neighborhood are substance-free.

  • Houses must fill to occupancy with three students.  Groups of six are also welcome to establish two side by side Houses.
  • One application should be submitted for the group through the Residence Life OurCampus group by the deadline.
  • Eligible applicants will have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or above and not actively on any level of Disciplinary Probation nor have ever been on Disciplinary Probation Level II.

Wellness Housing- 2 step process

This is an opportunity for students to live with fellow residents who share a focus on creating balance in their life and promoting overall well-being.  Members commit to maintaining a substance-free living environment.  Traditional upper-level wellness housing is located in Keefe Hall and Ramer Hall.

Self-Directed Wellness housing is located in off-campus houses and is available for juniors and seniors who have previously lived in a traditional wellness community and wish to increase their independence and autonomy.  Off-campus eligibility requirements apply.

THIS IS A MULTI-STEP PROCESS.

  • Step One:  Each student must complete the Wellness application in MyHousing by the deadline to register for the Wellness Lottery Event.
  • Step Two: The Lottery event.  Priority in selection is given to students with prior residency in a wellness community and then in class-year seniority order. Please see the Housing Lottery page for details.

Roommate Matching

If you are looking to live with a roommate or group of people in an application process that runs through MyHousing, you will need to complete the roommate matching steps. Only fully matched roommate groups where each person has submitted a corresponding application will be assigned through this process.  Roommate matching is done through MyHousing.  Review the step by step instructions(pdf) for assistance.
