Welcome to The W! Each year we welcome around 550 students to the on-campus community.
Whether you are a first-time freshman or a transfer student, we look forward to meeting you and when you move into your residence halls.
All students must complete their housing contract to be assigned a space. Assignments for incoming students and transfers are made in the order we receive your completed contract, so the earlier your contract is submitted, the earlier you are assigned in the process.
Applying to live on campus is an easy and efficient online process tailored for the student.
Click on "Apply for Housing" and select the "Activate Account" button.
Using your email address and Student ID#, create your account.
You will be sent an email with a password reset link.
Once you have reset your password, log back into the housing portal to being your application:
Once you are logged in to the housing application system, complete the housing application online.
Once you have completed your online Housing Application, you have set the housing process in motion. Housing and Residence Life will receive it via the online system.
There is not a deposit required with the application. There will be a $50 non-refundable processing fee applied to you Banner account once the semester begins.
Keep in mind that we cannot guarantee single rooms and any single rooms that are available will be given to students on a priority basis (medical needs followed by senior status down).
Make sure you read the housing contract thoroughly. Within the online application process will be asked to review the Terms & Agreements and acknowledge that you agree to the terms.
Housing Contracts entered into for the Fall semester, is a nine month contract (August to May).

Housing applications must be canceled prior to June 1st of the upcoming academic year in order to avoid a cancellation fee.
