Application Process

Living on Campus

Living on campus supports your success at USI. Students who live on campus often build lasting friendships, stay more connected to campus, and have easy access to classes, resources, and student involvement opportunities.

Once you are officially admitted to USI, you will receive access to the Housing Portal. Log in using your myUSI username and password.

Housing Eligibility

To live in University Housing, students must be enrolled full-time each semester.

  • If you drop below full-time enrollment, you must notify Housing and Residence Life by emailing Living.
  • Approval to remain in housing while enrolled less than full-time is not guaranteed and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Application Process

Applying for housing includes two main steps:

Step 1: Complete Your Application

  • Submit the housing application through the Housing Portal
  • Pay the $50 non-refundable application fee
  • Pay the $300 room reservation prepayment
  • Sign your housing contract

Step 2: Form a Roommate Group

This step takes place in the Housing Portal and must be completed before room selection.

Current residents and new students can:

  • Create a roommate group
  • Search for potential roommates
  • Invite others to join their roommate group
  • Spring-only applicants will not participate in the roommate group process

Step 3: Select Your Bedspace

  • Current residents select in February
  • New students and non-current residents select in May
  • Spring-only applicants will be assigned by Housing staff
  • Current residents and new students who do not participate in room selection will be assigned by Housing staff

Application Timelines

  • Academic Year (Fall and Spring): Application opens in December
  • Spring Only: Application opens in November
  • Summer Housing: Application opens in April (for current USI students)

Important:
Housing applications are for a bedspace, not a specific room or building. Room types are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
