Current Resident Contract Sign-up Process Steps

The academic year housing contract sign-up process is a two-part process that must be completed in full by the student.

Part 1: Request a Current Resident Housing Application

Part one of the Current Resident Contract Process involves requesting an application/ contract link. Please note that for the 2025-2026 academic year, spaces will be limited for returning residents. In an effort to provide more bed spaces for incoming students, only 800 current residents will be allowed to request an application.

Beginning at 9am on February 13, residents will request an application by filling out a form including:

  • Name
  • A Number
  • Whether you would like to retain your samebed space or choose a new bed space

Part 2: Sign Contract and Select Building and Room

Part two of the housing contract process includes building and room selection.

  • Personal Information
    • Lifestyle questions
    • Emergency contact information
  • Contract agreement (found online on our Housing Contracts, Rules and Policies page)
  • Pay $75 non-refundable contract fee. You will be asked to make this payment during the contract process.
  • Room selection
    • If you chose to retain your same room during the application request, you will confirm your room during room selection. Those retaining their same rooms will do so February 18.
    • If you would like to choose a new room or building, you will do so during the building and room selection. Those selection a new room or building will do so February 19-20.
  • You must complete all steps in step two of the Housing Contract Process by the deadline dates in order to confirm your on-campus housing assignment.

Waitlist

If you do not complete the contract process in time, or if you were unable to request one of the limited spaces reserved for current residents, you are welcome to add your name to the 2025-2026 waitlist.

So that we may offer spaces to those on the waitlist in a timely manner, an email will be sent to your USU email address and you will have 24 hours to complete the online contract process once an email is sent.

  • Waitlist offers will begin on May 1
  • All waitlist correspondence will be sent to your USU email address. Be sure to check email often for updates.
  • Being added to the waitlist does not guarantee that you will receive a housing offer.
  • Placement on the list will be determined by submission date and time.
  • When you reach the top of the list and are sent an email offer, you will have 24 hours to complete the online contract process and select a room.
  • Offers are sent Monday and Wednesday of each week to your USU email address.
  • The waitlist is not for those who currently have an on-campus housing contract and are looking to do a building/room change. Those wishing to make building or room changes can do so through the room change process accessed through the Housing Portal beginning in May.
  • If you do not complete the contract process within 24 hours of email offer, you will be removed from the list.

Payment

Housing and meal plan (if required) charges are included on your University account along with tuition and fees. Review our Housing Rates and Dates page for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Do you have a waiting list?

We do not keep a waiting list for specific buildings or room types. However, beginning April 1, the contract sign-up process transitions to a campus-wide waitlist system. Spaces are offered as they become available until move-ins.

2

I want to move to a different building/room. Can I do that?

You can change your room and/or building booking through our online room change process, after the room selection process. You will be able to check the real-time room availability 24/7. If there is a space you want you will log into the housing portal and make the change. It’s that easy!

3

How do I choose or find out who my roommates are?

During room selection, you will be able to view the name, email address, age, and answers to the lifestyle questions asked during the sign up process, of potential roommate(s) and they can view yours. If you have a friend(s) you’d like to room with, sign up at the same time and choose the same building. The date and time you are able to select your room is based on the date you complete the sign up process. Once room selection takes place you will be able to view roommates by logging into the housing portal and clicking the “View Roommate(s) Info” button. Roommate(s) can change depending on room changes and cancellations.

4

How and when do I pay my housing deposit?

As a current resident signing up to live on campus again, your $200 housing deposit will rollover from your previous contract. You will be asked to pay the $75 contract fee during the sign-up process. If you are able to obtain a housing application during the application request window (Feb. 13), you will pay the contract fee during your corresponding building/ room selection window.

5

Can I get my deposit back?

If you submit the online cancellation petition by April 15, 2025, you will receive a refund of the $200 security/reservation fee. If you cancel between April 16 and June 15, your deposit is forfeited but you are released from your contract. After June 15, you must meet one of the contract termination conditions to be released from your contract.

6

When is move in day?

Fall semester begins Monday, August 25, 2025. However, if you are participating in Connections, that begins on earlier, or if you need to arrive earlier for any other reason you may move in beginning Saturday, August 16, 2025, at 10:00 a.m.. This is the earliest that we are able to let you move in so please plan accordingly.

If you have any specific questions, please contact the Housing Office.

All disability related accommodations or requests must be submitted to the Disability Resource Center at drc@usu.edu or (435) 797-2444 as soon as possible.

Individuals with a disability related need for an Emotional Support Animal should familiarize themselves with the ESA Policy. Residents seeking to have their ESA at the time of move-in should complete the ESA request and approval process at least 45 days days prior to the room selection date whenever possible.
