Doesn’t СÓÅÊÓƵ guarantee housing or require that students live on campus?
Like many selective universities, СÓÅÊÓƵ does not guarantee housing and has not done so for more than a decade. СÓÅÊÓƵ also does not require that students live on campus.
How do I look for off-campus housing?
If you need assistance:
- Visit СÓÅÊÓƵ’sÌýOff-Campus HousingÌýwebsite for resources, such as the Off-Campus Resource Map, which displays many communities, apartment complexes, hotels and storage units.
- Follow theÌýÌýpage on Facebook.
- Join theÌýÌý(СÓÅÊÓƵ Students/Alumni) Facebook group.
I am a new student who would like to cancel my housing application but still plan to attend СÓÅÊÓƵ. How do I do that?
If you are a new student and secure off-campus housing for Fall 2024, complete the Housing Cancellation Request application in Residence by Symplicity by May 1, 2024. Spring 2025 applicants should cancel by Aug. 31, 2024. When Residence Life processes your cancellation, the following will occur:
- You will be removed from your housing assignment or the housing waiting list.
- Your $200 housing deposit will be applied to the next semester's student account balance.

I am on the no guarantee waitlist; can I be placed in the Barrymore?
Students on the waiting list are not able to select their building or roommates. If spaces become available, it is likely you will be offered a space at the Barrymore. On-campus assignments depend on availability but are less likely.
We will continue to review the no guarantee waiting list throughout the summer and the first week of classes and contact students if space becomes available. Students on the waiting list are not charged for on-campus housing unless they receive a housing assignment.
I have an approved housing accommodation through Student Accessibility Services and I have been placed on the no guarantee waitlist – will I be moved ahead to receive a housing assignment?
Eligible continuing students who have Student Accessibility Services approved accommodations that can only be met through specific room types will receive additional consideration for a housing assignment that meets their accommodation need on a space-available basis only. Accommodations will be made after documentation has been submitted to and approved by theÌýStudent Accessibility ServicesÌýoffice and when space becomes available.
What about The Henry?
The Henry is a high-rise development in downtown that is СÓÅÊÓƵ’s preferred off-campus housing option. Additional information can be obtained by contactingÌýdirectly.
Can I have a car/parking?
First-year students who live on campus are not able to bring a vehicle to campus. First-year students who commute and live off-campus can park on campus. More information about parking can be found on theÌýVehicle Registration pageÌý. First-year students assigned to the Barrymore Hotel must still follow the СÓÅÊÓƵ parking policies and are not permitted to register a vehicle.
Can I still participate in the meal plan if I live off-campus?
Commuters are not required to have a meal plan. However, commuters may elect to have a residential meal plan (7, 12, 15 or Carte Blanche) or a commuter block meal plan. This can be requested through Residence Life (using the meal plan change request in Residence by Symplicity) orÌý.
I am on the no guarantee waiting list. Are there any opportunities for exceptions? If so, who can I talk to?
We are not granting exceptions. If space becomes available for an on-campus housing assignment, we will contact you. You will need to respond to the offer in writing to accept. Please check your Spartan СÓÅÊÓƵ email and review these FAQs for the most updated information regarding housing availability.
