to move in.
Important Information for your Housing Application
Move-In Weekend: August 9-11, 2025
Applications require a $100.00 application fee. Fee can only be paid with a Mastercard
or Visa (debit/credit card) only.
The Fall 2025 housing application will be available beginning at 8:00 a.m. on October
1, 2024. The Summer 2025 housing application will be available April 2025 (date TBA).
October 1, 2024 is the priority deadline for Spring 2025 applications and March 1,
2025 is the priority deadline for Fall 2025 applications. Applications received after
those dates are placed on a waitlist for housing. It may take up to 48 hours to access
the housing application once you are admitted to the University.
Anyone who applies for Fall 2025 after March 1 will be added to the Housing waitlist.
Assignments are not guaranteed for students on the waitlist as space must permit.
All incoming students under the age of 19* are required to reside on campus unless
they are living at the stated home address with their legal guardian. Students applying
for housing after the March 1 priority deadline (regardless of age) will be placed
on a waiting list with no guarantee of on-campus housing, as space must permit.
*Applies to students who are under the age of 19 prior to the first day of registration.
Housing Guide 2024
Troy University SOS Alerts
All TROY students are strongly encouraged to sign up for SOS Alerts upon arriving
to campus. This is the best way to stay up-to-date on emergency alerts at Troy University.
Follow the TROYUSOS Twitter Account below and click the link to sign up for text alerts.
New incoming students who have not reached the age of 19 by the last date of regular
registration for the fall semester must reside on campus, if not commuting from home
residing with parents. The commute must be within a one-hour commute. New incoming
students must apply by the housing priority deadline.
How long is the housing contract?
The Troy University Housing Contract is for the academic year (fall and following
spring semester).
Can I reside off campus with anyone other than my parents if I'm under 19?
Students may reside off campus with grandparents, brothers or sisters that may live
locally. An email requesting this must be submitted to the housing office from the
parent/guardian stating they are requesting permission for their student to reside
off campus with their grandparents or sibling. The letter should state the name of
the person they would be residing with, the relationship to the student and the address.
This letter is submitted to the Director of Housing for approval. There are special
circumstances in which the student may have a legal guardian. This should be documented
and accompany the request. The student when granted permission will fill out an off
campus card with the address they will be living at and submit it to Housing for clearance
of any holds. This living arrangement would be for that academic year (fall & spring
semesters).
When/how will I be notified of my assignment?
New incoming students who apply by the priority deadline will begin receiving assignments
mid-March through July. Assignment notifications are emailed to the student's Troy
University email account
What do I do if I didn't get the dorm or roommate I requested?
Room and/or roommate change instructions will be listed in the assignment email.
Change requests are not guaranteed as space must permit.
Do students with disabilities receive special consideration for dorm placement?
When students apply for housing, medical documentation can be submitted for review.
The Housing Office will review the documentation and determine the placement based
on need and space availability.
Are meal plans required?
Students living in a dorm must have a residential meal plan; with the exception of
students assigned to Pace Hall, Honors Cottage and Greek Housing.
