Excuse our dust as we improve your experience! The Resident Portal will be unavailable for several days beginning Monday, Nov. 3. Current residents with immediate needs or work order requests should contact their building or community staff for assistance. Incoming residents with questions or concerns should contact the main Housing office at housing@k-state.edu or 785-532-6453. Thanks for your patience!

Interested in Living With Us?

The 2026-2027 Residential Hall Application will be available to all incoming students and returning residents at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9. View the application at a glance and the sample contract or log into the Resident Portal to complete your contact information to ensure that you receive application information. If you're a current resident, you have priority over incoming students and do not need to complete your application on the first day it's available.

Save the Date!

Join us for our Application Webinar at 7 p.m. CST on Tuesday, Dec. 2. Check back soon to register for the Zoom webinar. It will also be able to be viewed on our Facebook page and will be recorded and posted to our website the next day.
