Apply for Housing

USI on-campus housing is the place to be, and we are excited for your interest in living with us!

Living on Campus
Students must be actively enrolled full-time per semester to be eligible to live in University Housing. Students who drop below full-time enrollment must notify Housing and Residence Life by emailing Living. Eligibility to remain living in University Housing when enrolled less than full-time is at the discretion of Housing and Residence Life.

Application Process
Applying to live on campus is a two-step process. The first step is completing the application, paying the $50 non-refundable application fee and $300 room reservation prepayment, and signing the contract. Next, is choosing your bedspace during the designated room selection process: February for current housing residents and May for new students. Spring only applications do not participate in a room selection process. Housing staff assign these students.

It is important to note that the housing application is for a bedspace and not a specific room type. Room types are first come, first serve.

  • A housing application is for an academic year (fall and spring). There is a spring only application available for students wanting to move onto campus for the spring semester.
  • The new academic year application is available in December and the spring only application is available in November.
  • Summer housing is available to students who are enrolled at USI during the preceding spring semester and will be enrolled in classes for the upcoming fall semester. The summer application is available in April.
  • All forms including the housing application are submitted through the Housing Portal.
