Apply for Housing
Welcome to Appalachian State University! We have a lot of options for on-campus housing and below you will find detailed information about applying to live on campus. Please note that readmitted, continuing, and transfer students, regardless of their academic standing, are not guaranteed on-campus housing.
Applications Available 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-Summer. 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 that 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 (opens in a new tab).

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 about the housing application and roommates, please check our tutorials linked above.
