Apply for Housing

Applying for on-campus housing is easy. Complete your housing application checklist.

Housing Application Checklist

1. Review the Residence Hall Handbook, Student Handbook, Student Code and Academic Catalog.
2. Students entering the University in fall 2020 need to complete a housing application online for the fall 2020 semester and acknowledge the housing terms and conditions (this will be a step within the application).
   • Or apply for a housing waiver. Housing waivers are granted only in cases of extenuating circumstances and on a case-by-case basis. For more information, contact Maryam Ouechani, coordinator for residence life, at 314.446.8164 or maryam.ouechani@uhsp.edu.
   • Applications for the 2020-21 academic year are now live.

4. Start the countdown to Move-In Day!

Roommate Selection

Students may indicate a desired roommate on the housing application. In order to be placed as roommates, students must indicate agreement to be each other’s roommate. Students who select a double-room option and do not indicate a roommate will be assigned a roommate during housing placement.

Expectations for Living On Campus

Living on campus is a significant aspect of the educational experience, and studies show that students who live on campus experience a greater likelihood of academic and personal success.
