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

Each semester, vacancies are determined and assignments accordingly. Typically, you will first be notified of an available apartment by telephone or e-mail, and later assigned a specific apartment by the Family Residence Hall Director (RHD). NOTE: At certain times, there is a waiting period for an assignment. Please wait for an assignment before making plans to move to campus.  

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. Please have your receipt with you upon check-in for proof of payment. You will need to check-in on the date given at the apartment complex office where you have been assigned. Additionally, you will need to submit a copy of your marriage license, divorce papers, children's birth certificate(s), or custody papers if applicable to the Office of Residence Life before you can check-in.
