Residence Halls Checklist

Complete the Housing Information Request Form*

This is available in the Resident Portal beginning September 15 and can be completed at any time. No payment is required. The single purpose of the Housing Information Request Form is to notify Housing and Dining Services that you would like to receive more information about the residence hall contract process that will begin in December.

*When the contract becomes available in December, this form will no longer be needed and will not be shown as an option in the Resident Portal.

 

Step 1: Complete the Residence Hall Contract

The residence hall contract will be available to complete beginning at 3 p.m. on December 7 each year.

Students can then complete the contract and submit the $230 contract payment. This amount consists of a $30 non-refundable processing fee and a refundable $200 initial payment. Contracts will not be processed or considered complete until the initial payment is made*. A verified K-State eID and password are required to complete this process. If you have questions or concerns about the contract payment, please contact the Housing and Dining Services office for assistance.

*The date and time a student completes the residence hall contract will determine their place in line for the room selection process in May.

Step 2: Explore Your Options

Learn more about the options available to you and calculate your total room and board expenses in our Explore Your Options worksheet.

• You can compare costs at a glance with our residence hall cost sheet.
• This does not secure your room assignment; it is an opportunity to view what exists in the residence halls. We advise that students have 3 halls and 3 room types in mind prior to room selection.

Step 3: Choose Your Experience

Residents who are enrolled in a Residential CAT Community will begin to choose their living experience April 15. All other new residents will begin to choose their living experience in May. Notification with your selection date and time will be sent to your K-State email in early April.

• After selecting a room and meal plan, students will know the exact cost of their room and an exact cost of their meal plan.
• Review your contract or the contract-at-a-glance webpage for information about cancellation policies.
• Contract changes can be made inside the Resident Portal until July 1. These include changes to hall, room, roommate(s) and meal plan.
• We recommend getting in touch with your roommate(s) to get to know each other and to coordinate what to bring.
