How do I register for on-campus housing? Am I guaranteed a room on campus?
On-campus housing is guaranteed only to freshmen who submit their online housing application and pay the required $250 housing pre-payment fee by June 1. Students who apply after the June 1 deadline will be assigned as space becomes available due to cancellations, with out-of-town students receiving first priority. The online application can be accessed at www.housing.vcu.edu. After the room assignment has been made, notification will be sent to the accepted student via his/her VCU e-mail account, typically in early June. Included with the housing assignment will be information on how to sign the online housing contract, roommate(s) name(s), move-in details and how to purchase a meal plan.
Keep in mind that while housing is guaranteed for those freshmen who apply by the deadline, rooms are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The sooner you submit your housing application (and the required deposit), the more likely you are to be placed in the residence hall of your choice. For more information, visit the VCU Residential Life and Housing Web site.
