New Resident Housing Contract Process
If you're not currently living in one of our communities but would like to sign up for 2024-2025 academic year housing in one of our residence halls, please follow these steps. (Students must be admitted to the university with a verified K-State eID to complete these.)
Optional: Complete the Housing Information Request Form*
- This is available in the Resident Portal beginning Sept. 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. Dec. 7, 2023. Students can then complete the contract and submit the minimum $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 is 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.
