Statement of Community

Living in a residence hall at Georgia Southern University means living in a community of students. This community is a dynamic place, composed of various people with different values, cultures, lifestyles, and attitudes. As members of the community, we must strive to understand the individuality and life choices of those among us. We can best learn from one another in an atmosphere of positive encouragement and mutual respect. We must possess a genuine desire to learn from those around us as well as give others the respect and tolerance we desire. Each person has a role to play in our residence hall community and should be allowed to do so.

Georgia Southern University residence hall communities incorporate the following:

  • EDUCATION – to ensure that teaching and learning take place outside the classroom
  • OPENNESS – so that ideas and thoughts can be discussed freely
  • RESPECT – to ensure that the individual is honored so diversity can be pursued
  • RESPONSIBILITY – so that the individual accepts obligations to the community and is held accountable for individual actions
  • CARING – to ensure that the individual’s well-being is supported and that community service is encouraged
  • INVOLVEMENT – so that all individuals have a voice in decisions concerning their community
  • OWNERSHIP – to ensure that all individuals care for their building facilities and adjacent property
  • CELEBRATION – so that Georgia Southern University history and culture is included and that residence hall traditions are shared

Your rights in our community include: To socialize in your room; to sleep and study without disturbance; to live in a supportive and stimulating community; to live in a safe, secure, healthy, and clean environment; to enjoy access to a variety of programs, services, and facilities; and to involve yourself and others in promoting an educational, open, respectful, responsible, caring, involving, and celebrative community.

Your responsibilities in our community include: To consider the needs of other residents and balance them with your own needs; to promote care of the physical facilities, equipment, and services; to communicate with other residents and staff members, to let other residents know when they are disturbing you; to demonstrate a commitment to the community by getting involved; to promote campus and individual safety, and to demonstrate dignity and respect for all individuals.

Living on campus at Georgia Southern affords you many opportunities to face challenges head on, achieve in a variety of areas and grow as an individual. However, these things only happen when you actively participate and support the community ideals stated there.

How to Apply

First you will need to apply for Fall housing. At the end of the process you will be given an opportunity to complete your Eagle Success Housing Application. If you are only applying for Eagle Success housing and not Fall, you must contact our office at housing@georgiasouthern.edu. You will be required to submit one $150.00 non-refundable housing registration fee, which will cover both Eagle Success and Fall housing. All Georgia Southern students are encouraged to live in Eagle Success housing for Eagle Success term and are required (unless eligible for exemption) to live on campus for the fall.

In order to complete your housing applications, you will need your my.GeorgiaSouthern.edu credentials to log into the on-line housing system. This information was e-mailed to your email.

Start Application Process

When can I apply for Housing?

Once you have been accepted to the Eagle Success program by the Office of Admissions, paid your non-refundable deposit to Admissions and turned in your Eagle Success contract to Admissions, you may apply to live on campus for the Fall school year and the Eagle Success summer program.

What do I need to apply?

To apply, you will need your my.GeorgiaSouthern.edu credentials.

Where will students live during the Eagle Success program?

During the Eagle Success program, students will live in Southern Pines in a suite style environment.

How do I tell you who I want for my roommate?

If you desire to live with a specific person, you will need to indicate that person’s full name and their Eagle ID when you complete your housing application. You may request only one other person as a roommate. All roommate requests must be mutual. If you and your desired roommate have not mutually requested each other, you will not be assigned together. Also, keep in mind that roommate assignments are based on the average application complete date of both roommates, so encourage your roommate to apply early too.

Is there a Registration Fee?

Yes. Your application must be submitted with a $150.00 non-refundable registration fee. You may pay your housing registration fee via check, money order, Web Check or credit card through the Housing Application Portal on the my.GeorgiaSouthern.edu website. Please do not send cash through the mail. Your application is not considered complete until we receive both the application and the registration fee. The $150 registration fee you pay at the completion of your Fall application process also covers your Eagle Success application.

Once we have processed the “Eagle Success Summer Housing” portion of your application, you will receive a separate confirmation e-mail.

Didn’t I already pay a Registration Fee?

No. All students must pay the $150.00 non-refundable housing registration fee when they apply for housing. Eagle Success students pay this fee only once, whether they apply for summer or for both summer and Fall-Spring housing.

How will I know that you received my application?

Once your application has been processed you will receive notification your application is complete and the date it is complete. The Application Complete Date will be the date by which we will make your room assignment. Should there be any problems with your application, or registration fee, we will only notify you via email. Please be sure that Georgia Southern has your correct email address on file.

How are residence hall assignments made?

All residence hall assignments are made on a modified* first come first served basis so it is important to apply for housing as soon as possible after receiving your acceptance to the university. (*Roommates are assigned by the average Application Complete Date of both roommates.)

Should I also apply for a space for University Housing for the Fall?

YES, all freshmen are required to live on campus unless they are eligible for exemption. Our room assignments are based on a first come first served basis so it’s a good idea to apply for Fall as soon as possible. Eagle Success students are eligible to live in any “all student” or first year residence hall community.

What if I want to live on campus for the Eagle Success program, but not for the school year?

As all freshmen are required to live on campus unless they are eligible for exemption, the Eagle Success housing application is part of our Fall application process. If you wish to live on campus for Eagle Success, but will be requesting an exemption to the First Year Live on Requirement, you must call our office at 912-478-5406 during regular business hours to apply for Eagle Success housing.

Can I make changes to my lifestyle profile?

Can I make a change to my roommate preference?

For Fall 2019, your signed housing contract must be returned completed. Eagle Success housing assignments for summer will be sent out at the beginning of June.

Can I request a change in my assignment after I receive it?

What if I retake the SAT/ACT and receive the required score or I decide not to attend Georgia Southern University, what do I need to do?

If you receive the required score or change your mind about living on campus for the Eagle Success program, you will need to cancel your housing, although the $150.00 registration fee is non-refundable. Please go to https://auxiliary.georgiasouthern.edu/housing/cancel/ to cancel your housing assignment. Cancelling with the admissions office does not cancel your housing assignment.

Who should I contact for other questions?
