Eligibility



To be eligible, the husband, wife, or single parent renting the facility must be a full-time student during the academic year. For married couple apartments, applicants do not need to be married to apply for housing - just legally married prior to occupying an apartment.

For family apartments, a single parent must have legal custody of one or more children. A student's spouse and/or children must reside with the student at all times in order to remain eligible for family housing and only members of the immediate family (husband, wife, dependent children under 18 years) may live in the family housing apartment.

Assignment Process

During each semester, vacancies are determined and assignments are made by application date and assigning a couple or family to the first available apartment. When possible, you will first be notified of a future assignment and later assigned a specific apartment. Usually, there is a waiting period for an assignment, so please wait for an assignment before making plans to move to campus. NOTE: Assignment notifications are made by telephone or email - inform our office if this information changes.

The Family Residence Hall Director (RHD) will assign your apartment and check-in date. Before your check-in date, you will need to pay one month's rent. You will need to check-in on the date given at the apartment complex office where you have been assigned.
