2025-2026 Returning Student Housing Application

The 2025-2026 Returning Student Housing Application opens on Monday, October 28, 2024 at 12:00pm (EST) for current students interested in living in WCU Managed Housing or USH Affiliated Housing during the 2025-2026 academic year.

WCU Managed and USH Affiliated have two separate applications, processes, and fees. Both providers charge a separate $200, non-refundable fee to complete your application. Students who submit applications with both providers will be expected to pay both fees. 

You are encouraged to explore all housing options, both on and off-campus:

• WCU Managed Housing
• USH Affiliated Housing
• Off Campus Housing and Commuter Services

WCU Managed Housing

The WCU Managed Returning Student Housing Application will open at 12:00pm (EST) on October 28, 2024 and will close at 4:00pm (EST) on November 8, 2024.

The WCU Managed Housing application will be available in RamPortal-> MyHousing Card -> Applications and Forms.

Students who submit a WCU Managed Housing application during the open application period (10/28/24 - 11/8/24) will receive a randomly generated time slot to register for housing on November 25, 2024 or November 26, 2024. Housing is not guaranteed during this process and is based on availability. Students will select housing in the order of their randomly generated time slot assignment, earliest time slot selects first. 

USH Affiliated Housing

Returning WCU Students are able to Request Housing with USH throughout the entire year, but we are doing something a little bit different this year. We are utilizing a Randomized Selection Process that will be open from October 28, 2024, at 12:00pm through November 8, 2024, at 4:00pm. No rush during these dates, all students that request housing during this timeframe will have the same randomized chance.  

The USH Affiliated Housing request for housing application will be available in the USH Resident Portal.
