If you are currently in your second year+, living on campus and interested in living on campus in one of our campus apartments, or residence hall rooms, sign-up will begin in October 2024.
Current on-campus residents in their second year or beyond who are interested in an on-campus apartment at University Village or 1855 Place, a residence hall apartment, single room in Owen Hall, or a double room in select residence halls will complete the 2025-26 Housing Interest Form in their My Housing account.
We recognize the high demand for on-campus apartments and residence hall space for upper-class students, and unfortunately, we cannot accommodate everyone. The interest form helps us gauge who is interested in continuing to live on campus. From these submissions, students will receive a selection time, randomly generated but based upon their class standing.
This is the only opportunity for second year+ students to select an on-campus housing space for 2025-26.
- The On-Campus Housing Interest Form will be open starting Wednesday, October 1, 2024, through Tuesday, October 22, 2024.
- Based on feedback from students, the Housing Assignments Office will offer double rooms in both suite and community style halls. Double rooms will be available on a first come first serve basis, like the other spaces in this sign-up period.
- Once the form closes, the Housing Assignments Office will assign a 24-hour selection window to students who are randomly assigned a selection time, based on class standing.
- The number of selection times is based on the number of available rooms and apartments for selection. If the number of interested students exceeds the availability of spaces, not all students will receive a selection time.
- Each person must submit their own form to receive a sign-up time. During your sign-up window, you will be able to pull in students who are in their second year or beyond.
- Only students currently living on-campus and currently in their second year+ are able to complete the Interest Form.
Please be aware that being granted a sign-up time does not guarantee you a spot in an on-campus apartment or room. We currently have more students interested in on-campus housing than available spaces, and space availability can change depending on the size of roommate groups. The sign-up period might close before your scheduled time if all spaces are filled.
Roommate Groups
If you have a roommate(s) in mind, you will need to create a roommate group. Learn how to create a roommate group:
- Choose a "Group Leader" from your group of students. Anyone in your pair or group can be the Group Leader.
- Log in to your My Housing account and click on "Complete Housing Preferences and Update Roommate Group."
- The Group Leader will invite one, two, or three additional students to join the group by providing their names and MSU emails.
- Once invited, the Group Members will receive an email with instructions to accept or decline the invitation in their My Housing account.
- All members of the roommate group must ACCEPT their invitations prior to their sign-up time to be a part of the Roommate Group
- Please note, students currently in their first year cannot be pulled in as roommates for this sign-up period.
Current 1855 Place and University Village Residents
For students who are currently residing in 1855 Place or University Village, only complete the form if you want to move spaces. If you wish to retain your current space, do not fill out the 2025-26 Housing Interest Form. The Housing Assignments Office will be sending information about lease renewal soon.
Students currently living in a residence hall or residence hall apartment cannot retain their current space.
