Apply Now: Return to the Residence Halls for 2026–2027 — Single-Room Options Available
WVU Housing invites current and returning students to apply to live in the residence halls for the 2026–2027 academic year, with single-room offerings available in Bennett Tower for students seeking a more private living experience.
Residence hall housing provides convenient access to campus resources, a strong sense of community, and flexible options for upperclassmen. Students interested in a single room should apply early and indicate a preference for a single room in the Evansdale Residential Complex (Towers).
Housing contracts run through the full academic year (ending May 8, 2027).
If you prefer apartment-style living but still want the security and convenience of staying on campus, consider a University Apartment – College Park, University Park, University Place and Vandalia Apartments.
Important Things to Consider
WVU Housing will work to assign returning students to available spaces prior to self-selection opening in April, with additional designated upperclassmen spaces available during self-selection through the WVU Housing Portal.
The housing application and contract are binding for the full academic year (fall and spring) unless you are no longer enrolled as a WVU student.
A $225 housing deposit is required.
If you sign an off-campus lease before the May 1 cancellation deadline, you may receive a partial refund of your housing deposit.
After May 1, no refunds will be issued, and your residence hall contract becomes binding as long as you remain registered as a WVU student.
Returning students are eligible to live in any residence hall except Lincoln Hall and Honors Hall (reserved for incoming first-year Honors College students) and Seneca Hall (reserved for first-year students, as returning students are eligible for University Apartments); please note that some residence hall spaces may have additional eligibility restrictions.
