New Students: Wondering About Your Housing Assignment?

We are currently assigning NEW students for fall 2011 - spring 2012. Because May 1 is our priority deadline for applications and roommate requests, we strive to allow as many students as possible to apply before our priority deadline.

We will begin sending out assignment emails on or around May 15. All information will be sent to your JSU email account. The email will contain your room assignment and roommate's name and email address (if applicable or assigned at the time of the email). We will continue to send out assignment emails every two weeks after that point. You will probably receive the email more than once, but we want to keep you as informed as possible.

The assignment email will contain information about move in dates, payment deadlines, room change information and many other items. Please read the email so that you are prepared when you arrive on campus.

Haven't applied yet? No problem! You will need the residence hall application, which can be found here. You will submit your application with the $150 nonrefundable application fee to:

Department of University Housing and Residence Life

103 Bibb Graves

700 Pelham Road North

As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at 256-782-5122.

Tomorrow, March 3, beginning at 12:00 P.M., students who have not selected a room assignment will be able to select their room. However, just like the group today, not everyone can select their room at the same time. Selection is determined by the date and time of when you submitted your Returning Student Application.

If you have already selected your room and/or squatted for your room, you will have to wait until Monday, March 7 to change your room.
