COVID-19 reminders for students (opens in a new tab)
Students living in residence halls need to complete COVID-19 isolation at home, but may isolate in their residence hall rooms, if unable to return home, leaving only to receive medical care.
During the isolation period, students living in residence halls can arrange for Wellness Meal Pick-ups - view instructions on Campus Dining's Meal Plan page (opens in a new tab).
Please click the button below or visit the university's Isolation and Exposure (opens in a new tab) page for more information.
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 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.
Newly admitted first year students and new transfer students starting classes in Spring 2023 are now able to apply to live on campus. This application can be found in the University Housing portal.
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. The room change request form is available for students who want to change their on-campus room assignment for any reason during the semester. Both forms can be found in the University Housing portal (opens in a new tab).
The pre-Spring room change request form is available for students who want to change their Spring on-campus housing assignment for any reason. The form can be found in the University Housing portal . Students who are approved to change rooms must move their belongings out of their current assignment prior to Winter Break. When they return to campus for Spring Semester, they will move their belongings into their new assignment. No belongings can be stored on campus over Winter Break.
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.
The residence halls close on Thursday, December 15, 2022 at 12 noon for winter break. Students must leave the residence halls by that time and the halls will remain closed until they reopen on Friday, January 13, 2023. 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 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 February 1 and must be registered for at least one course for the Summer Session for which they apply.
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 not selected will receive a notice indicating they were not selected. Students who are selected can choose a space and sign a Residence Hall License Contract or decline at that time. Students who are not selected may appeal if they have significant need to be housed on campus and off-campus housing cannot accommodate those needs.
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.
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 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.
Applications for new incoming students and transfer students to move on campus for the Spring 2023 semester are now being accepted. Don’t miss your chance to secure your spot to move on campus if you are newly admitted to the university for the Spring Semester. The application is open through January 22nd 2023
