Spring 2024
For new & returning housing applicants, please review this page for important application information.
Application Changes: You may access your submitted housing application on your housing self-service page in MySlice and make changes through January 2, 2024.
Housing Assignment Process: Students are assigned to their housing at random. This process is designed to promote a fair and equitable system that is inclusive and offers a diverse living experience. Housing assignments take into consideration documented special circumstances and roommate requests where opportunities are available.
Housing Accommodations Process: Defined as a need or condition that requires a student to have a modification to their physical living environment and/or meal plan. Students requesting housing accommodations must submit a request to the Center for Disability Resources (CDR) office. Accommodation examples could include a physical alteration to a room for medical or psychological needs, a specific space/room type, or various food options/restrictions that are medically necessary. The goal of an accommodation request is to allow the student to fully participate in the residential experience while remaining on campus. Students are encouraged to submit their requests as early as possible and no later than the CDR deadline.
Immunization and Health Records: (for students new to the Syracuse campus) Housing assignments for new students cannot be confirmed until your health history and immunization records have been submitted to health care staff at the Barnes Center at The Arch. Please submit your records using the student patient portal. For more information, visit the New Student Programs website.
Meal Plans: Meal plan options and pricing for the 2023/24 academic year are available on our website. Students assigned to on-campus housing will be assigned to the lowest required meal plan for their location when their housing assignment is processed.
Application Cancellations: The spring cancellation deadline is January 1, 2024. After January 1, all housing requests are financially binding, regardless of whether official confirmation of housing assignment has been communicated. Refunds of the $450 advance housing payment will not be made after January 1, 2024.
Not Attending: Students who choose to not attend the University must contact the Office of Admissions to withdraw their acceptance. They must also contact our office at housing@syr.edu to cancel their housing application.
Attending But Not Living in University Housing: Transfer students and returning students who have met their 2-year residency requirement may cancel their housing application and request access to the off-campus/commuter application by contacting our office by email at housing@syr.edu by January 1, 2024. Remember that first- and second-year students at Syracuse University are required to live in University housing.
I.D. Card Photo Submission: (for new students) Please review the photo submission page for instructions on how to submit your photo and obtain your SUID card.
Preparing for Campus Life: For students new to campus life, we know that you may have a lot of questions. We encourage you to begin thinking about transitioning to living in University housing. We know sharing a living space with another student may be a new experience for you. Both the New Student Programs and Student Living offices provide valuable support and resources for students new to living on campus.
