Spring 2024 Housing Application
June 3, 2024
We hope that you are enjoying the start of the summer months. We are writing to share important updates regarding the housing application process for the 2024-2025 academic year.
As you are aware, Howard University recently launched the implementation of a new system and integration project that will greatly improve the student experience and our efficiency. This improved system resulted in a temporary interruption to some of our annual processes and activities.
However, as the project nears completion, we are excited to announce that the housing application process will get underway on June 11, 2024. Our goal is to provide a smooth and efficient application process for everyone.
First Time In College Students: You are guaranteed a housing assignment and are required to live in University housing. The delayed application process does not affect your housing status. Please continue to be on the lookout for your Bison ID number, as well as your official university email address. You will need both pieces of information, in order to complete your housing application.
2nd Year Students: You are also guaranteed a housing assignment and are expected to live in University housing. The delayed application process does not affect your housing status.
3rd and 4th Year Students: We understand that the delayed housing application process may have caused some inconvenience and uncertainty for you. Once the housing application opens, we encourage you to monitor your Bison email closely for important updates, deadlines, and information.
The application will open on the following dates:
Tuesday, June 11, 2024 – 2nd Year Students
Wednesday, June 12, 2024 – 3rd and 4th Year Students
Thursday, June 13, 2024 – First Time In College Students
The Office of Residence Life looks forward to welcoming you to campus in August. We are here to support you and appreciate your patience and understanding during the transition to the University’s new system for students.
