How to Apply for Residence Hall Housing
After you have been admitted to West Virginia University, please complete the following steps to apply for residence hall housing:
-
Pay Your Academic Deposit
Once you've paid your academic deposit, in about 48 hours you can start the housing application process.
-
Review Housing Options
Each residence hall is a great place to live. Check out each hall, with a campus visit or a virtual tour at the housing website and determine which hall will be the best for you. Be sure to check out the Living-Learning Communities - you can live in a community with people who share your interests and/or major. With a campus visit, you can experience what it's like to be a Mountaineer; schedule your visit with the Visitors Center.
-
Complete Your Housing Application and Select Your Room
You will be able to access the housing application about 48 hours after you pay the academic deposit. Log into myhousing.wvu.edu to complete the online housing application - you will select your hall and your space, complete a profile that lets your roommate(s) learn more about you and pay your $225 housing deposit. The anticipated closing date for the self-selection process is Thursday, February 29, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. After that time the housing assignments team will manually manage assignments. Preferences will be considered, but assignments during this period will be based on availability.
