Housing Application

To be able to participate in the housing application process you must apply and be accepted to the University through the Office of Admissions.

ATTENTION: All full-time students are required to reside in on-campus housing unless you are age 21 before or during the term, living at home with your parents within a 50-mile radius from WCU, you are married, or you have dependent children who live with you. Students in need of housing accommodations due to a medical condition or disability should email housing@wmcarey.edu, in addition to the Office of Disability Services.

Online Application Process:

After you’ve been accepted, granted access to University systems, and set up your Indigo Portal, you may apply for on-campus housing.

You will receive an email confirming receipt of your prepayment. Your room selection priority number will be based on the date your housing prepayment was received. Therefore, we highly encourage applicants to apply online via the MyHousing Portal to avoid delays in processing.
Once you are able to access the MyHousing Portal, you will need to complete the remaining phases of the housing application to secure your housing and meal plan assignment.
