Housing Application & Intention Information

Before You Apply:

The Housing Application & Intention Form is used to communicate your housing plans for the upcoming academic year. By submitting the form and indicating that you plan to live on campus, you are expressing your intent to receive a University Housing assignment. This is not simply an indication of interest or a request for information about housing availability.

Students who are subject to the University's Mandatory Housing Policy and plan to commute must use the form to request permission to live off campus. All students planning to live on campus, as well as students requesting a Mandatory Housing Waiver, must submit the appropriate Housing Application & Intention Form by the published deadline.

Note: You will not be able to access the MyHousing portal until your enrollment has been confirmed.

Terms

Fall

Students interested in living on campus beginning in the fall semester must complete the Fall-Spring Housing Application & Intention Form through the Housing Portal. The application and Housing Contract cover the full academic year (September through May); fall-only housing is not available.

Students with an active academic-year housing contract who reside on campus during the fall semester will remain in their assigned space for the spring semester and do not need to submit a separate Spring Housing Application (see Spring Term details below).

Additional information regarding application availability, housing assignments, deadlines, rates, and move-in procedures will be shared through the Housing Portal and official University Housing communications.

Winter

Students currently residing in University Housing for the Fall semester have the opportunity to remain in their campus housing assignment during Winter Break at no additional charge.

To help us plan for building operations and student occupancy, all current residential students are required to complete the Winter Break Housing Intention Registration and indicate whether they will be staying on campus or leaving for any portion of the break.

Additional information regarding Winter Break housing, services, and important dates will be available within the registration form that opens mid November each year.

Winter Break housing is not available to students who do not have an active Fall housing assignment. Students cannot apply for Winter Break housing independently of their Fall housing assignment.

Students must be enrolled in Spring semester courses and have an active Spring housing assignment to remain in University Housing during Winter Break.

Spring

Spring Housing Information

Students who are new to Rowan University for the spring semester, as well as students who are not currently living on campus, may apply for spring housing through the Housing Portal. The Spring Application typically opens around early October. Students who are subject to the Mandatory Housing Policy must adhere to the residence requirement unless they have received an approved waiver.

Students who have an active academic-year housing contract and reside on campus during the fall semester are automatically eligible to remain in university housing for the spring semester and do not need to submit a new application.

Summer

Rowan University students who demonstrate an intent to continue their enrollment by registering for Summer or Fall courses are eligible to apply for Summer Housing.

The Summer Housing Application typically opens in mid-March. Summer housing charges are assessed on a daily occupancy rate based on a student's approved move-in and move-out dates.

Students transitioning from Summer Housing to a Fall housing assignment may be subject to early move-in fees.

Additional information regarding the application process, rates, move-in, and move-out procedures will be shared during the Spring semester.

University Email Communication

All housing-related communications, including updates, deadlines, room selection information, and assignment details, will be sent to your Rowan University email account.

Students are responsible for regularly checking their Rowan email and responding to any required actions by published deadlines. Failure to review university communications does not exempt students from housing policies, deadlines, or requirements.
