Returning Student Housing

2024-2025 Returning Student Housing Application

The 2024-2025 Returning Student Housing Application opens on Monday, December 18, 2023 at 9:00am (EST) for current students interested in living in WCU Managed Housing or USH Affiliated Housing during the 2024-2025 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

The WCU Managed Returning Student Housing Application will be open at 9:00am (EST) on December 18, 2023 and will close at 12:00pm (EST) on January 12, 2024. The application will be available in myWCU -> myHousing Portal.

Students who submit a WCU Managed Housing application during the open application period (12/18/23 - 1/12/24) will receive a randomly generated time slot to register for housing in mid-to-late January. 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

The USH Affiliated request for housing application will open at 9:00am (EST) on December 18, 2023. The request for housing application will be available in the USH Resident Portal.  Applications will be sent to students in the order that their request for housing is received, 48-72 business hours after USH receives the request.   

Students will receive the housing application based on the order in which USH receives their request for housing.  Students must complete the process through lease signing in the required communicated time.  Learn more about the Steps to Apply to USH Affiliated Housing
