Application Guide for Incoming Students
Applications Open: February 1
All students classified by Admissions as incoming first-years are required to live in a residence hall for the entire academic year unless an exemption is granted by University Housing.
Housing Applications are available beginning February 1, and room assignment information will be sent to your Appalachian email address in mid-July. All incoming first-years must apply for on-campus housing or apply for an exemption. Students who wish to apply for an exemption should complete and submit a Housing Exemption Form on the University Housing Portal.
Please note: You must have an application on file before submitting a Housing Exemption Form.
To apply for on-campus housing, please visit the University Housing Portal.
The priority deadline for University Housing applications is 11:59 PM on May 31. University Housing will continue to accept applications from new students beyond this deadline; however, some features and edits to existing applications will not be available. For more details on the housing application and roommates, please see the tutorials linked above.
First-year student roommate groups will open in early April, and first-year student room selection will open in June. Please continue to check your App State email for further information!
