The housing application opens September 1. We encourage you to apply for housing as soon as you have paid your enrollment deposit, since housing is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Nearly 90 percent of first-year students live on campus, and for good reason. Living on campus isn’t just convenient, it sets you up for success by putting you in the center of everything you need.
We strongly recommend that all new students live on campus, however should you choose not to live with us, $100 of your $350 enrollment deposit will be credited to your student account.
Complete your academic profile in Priority Enrollment, which opens as early as September. You will be placed in classes and finalize your schedule at Orientation.
