Welcome to University Housing!
Here you will find answers to all your questions related to on-campus housing. Below you will find links to our housing application, information about where to request maintenance for your room, where and how to receive packages, and more. We hope this site is useful to you, and that it will help you navigate through all of your housing needs.
New Student Move-In
August
New students typically move into the residence halls during a multi-day move-in process. Students are emailed their assigned move-in day when they receive their room assignment in mid-summer. Please see the move-in page for more information.
Spring Application
September 1
Newly admitted first year students and new transfer students starting classes in Spring can apply to live on campus beginning September 1. This application can be found in the University Housing portal.
Room Change Requests
September - November
The room change request form is available for students who want to change their on-campus room assignment for any reason during the semester. this form can be found in the University Housing portal (opens in a new tab).
AutoRelease
November-January
The auto-release request form is available for students who meet the criteria to be released from their Residence Hall License Contract the following semester. this form can be found in the University Housing portal (opens in a new tab).
Reapplication
October - December
Reapplication (ReApp) is an application available for continuing students who currently live on campus and want to apply to live on campus the following year. This application can be found in the University Housing portal.
Residence Halls Close for Break
December - January
The residence halls close for winter break. Students must leave the residence halls by that time and the halls will remain closed until they reopen. Students are not required to completely move out all belongings over the break. No students will have access to the residence halls over the break; therefore, they should pack for the break accordingly (remember all textbooks, electronics, passports, medication, winter items, etc.).
New & Continuing Student Housing Applications
February 1
New incoming students can apply for Fall housing beginning February 1. The priority deadline for new incoming student applications closes on May 31 at 11:59pm. Continuing students who want Summer housing can apply beginning March 1 and must be registered for at least one course for the Summer Session for which they apply.
Reapplication Selection Process
Mid-January-End of February
Continuing students who reapplied to live on campus during the reapplication period will receive an invitation via email to select on-campus housing. Students who are selected will have a week to choose a space and sign a Residence Hall License Contract or decline at that time. Those who are not selected will receive a notice indicating they were not selected.
Move-Out
May
The residence halls are closed between Spring and Summer sessions. Students must leave the residence halls within 24 hours of their last final exam OR by 12 noon on the day after final exam week ends, whichever comes first. They are required to completely move out.
Priority Deadline to Apply for Fall Housing
May 31
The priority deadline for applications to live on campus (required for incoming freshmen who graduate high school less than 12 months prior to beginning classes at Appalachian, regardless of credit hours) closes at 11:59 PM on May 31. University Housing will continue to accept applications from new students after this deadline, but roommate selection features and edits to existing applications will not be available.
Fall Housing Assignments Emailed
Mid-Summer
Fall housing assignments are emailed to each student's Appalachian email address in mid-summer. This email will contain the student's residence hall, room number, roommate information, and assigned move-in day and time. Please note that your room cannot be assigned unless you (and your parent/guardian if you are under 18 years of age at the time of your application) have signed and completed your Residence Hall License Contract.
