Current first-year students, your time to select housing for the 2026–27 academic year will take place during the spring semester. In the meantime, please remember that first-year students should not be signing any off-campus leases, housing agreements, or contracts this fall. More information about housing exceptions and group housing options will be available starting in November. Stay tuned for updates!
Gender Inclusive Housing
MSU has Gender Inclusive Housing floors in most neighborhoods on campus. Students will be able to indicate they want to live in a Gender Inclusive Housing space when going through the housing selection or assignment process.
Second-Year Housing Exceptions
Students may apply for an exception in My Housing to live off campus and be released from the housing requirement. Students who qualify for an exception but want to live on campus do not have to submit an exception. Exceptions are only for required students with a desire to live off campus.
By submitting an exception, you are requesting to be released from the live-on requirement. If your exception is approved you will no longer be required to live on campus and will not be able to sign-up in future years. This action cannot be undone.
Please make sure you've discussed this with your family and supporters, and only submit the form if you are sure you would like an exception. This decision cannot be reversed.
