University Housing is accepting applications for students wishing to live on the Statesboro Campus. First-year students are assigned utilizing their application complete date which is the date the $150 non-refundable application fee and online housing application are submitted. The first priority date for the Statesboro Campus is March 1 and for the Armstrong Campus is April 1. University Housing cannot guarantee that you will be assigned to your preferred room styles.
All first-year students are required to live on campus for their first year of enrollment. Students who begin in the summer or fall are required to live on campus for the Fall and Spring terms, students who begin in the spring are only required to live on-campus for the Spring Semester. First-Year students can apply for housing approximately two days after they have been admitted (applications are live on November 1) and the first priority deadline is March 1st (Statesboro) and April 1st (Armstrong).
