Assignments

Students who are given a guaranteed housing status upon admission to Salisbury University must then complete the housing application and deposit during that application period in order to be eligible for an assignment. Students are assigned housing by the date they pay the admission acceptance fee. Once assignments are distributed there is a housing freeze. This means you will be unable to request a move from the room you have been assigned.

Students who are given "waiting list" status by the Office of Admissions are placed on the waiting list based on the date Salisbury University received the students admission deposit.  An offer to line on campus will be made as space becomes available.  All other students are placed on the waiting list on the date they complete the waiting list application in the housing office.

On-Campus Housing Waiting List   Students are placed on the waiting list for housing when the residence halls reach capacity and space is not available to house students who have demonstrated on interest in living on campus. There is no commitment by the students to live on campus when they are placed on the waiting list.

We will offer housing to students on the waiting list as soon as space becomes available. We recognize that the earlier the offer, the better for the student and family. If your number-one choice is to live on campus, we ask that you check with the Housing Office before you solidify any off-campus plans. We will inform you of where we are in the process at that time.

To begin to exploring housing options please refer to the off campus housing website. It has a number of different options that will assist you in the process to secure housing. We recommend that you begin the process of looking for off campus housing when you receive your waiting-list status.

Summer and Winter Housing   Students who wish to live on-campus during the summer sessions or winter session need to go to the housing office to complete a room reservation. Students are eligible to live on-campus if they are enrolled in classes or work on-campus. Students who are working on-campus need to bring their work contract with them when they complete the room reservation.
