How do I apply for housing?

A CSU dorm room in Academic Village

What’s the housing app for?

At Colorado State, we require all first-year students and transfer students with fewer than 15 post-high school credits to live on campus in one of our residence halls. Filling out a housing application allows you to secure your spot and participate in the room selection process as well as browse student profiles for a potential roommate match.

How does it work?

First, you’ll need to fill out the housing application, which typically opens in January for the following fall semester, and mid-September for spring semester. You’ll gain access to the application with your CSU NetID after being admitted to CSU and after paying or deferring your enrollment deposit. It’s worth noting that the housing application requires a $500 deposit and a $100 non-refundable application fee that are separate from your enrollment deposit. The housing deposit is waived for students who receive an enrollment deposit deferral. As daunting as it may be to choose your hall preferences, we’re here to help you make the best decision. Not sure which options are right for you? Learn more about each of the residence halls.

What happens after I fill it out?

Once you fill out a housing application and pay your housing deposit, you will officially be on the list and in the running for assignment. Incoming students are invited to participate in a room selection process in early summer where you have the ability to select the room that you and your potential roommate(s) will move into.

READY TO APPLY

If you're admitted to CSU and have submitted your enrollment deposit, you can take action on your housing application.
