HOUSING APPLICATION CONTRACT
- The Housing Application is completed online via the Housing Portal. Once inside of the application, you will be able to select your room type and roommates!
- Once all of the steps of the application are completed, you will be asked to review and electronically sign the Housing Contract.
- When you electronically sign the contract, you are agreeing to the contract terms. It is very important that you read the entire contract and understand all of the terms and conditions. Feel free to review the Academic Year Housing Contract (Fall 2026 and Spring 2027) prior to accessing the Housing Portal.
- Upon completion and submission of the Housing Application and Contract, the student is contractually obligated to pay the cost of room and board.
- The housing contract is binding for the contract period which is the entire academic year (fall and spring semesters).
- After completing that step, you will be emailed a confirmation indicating that your contract has been signed.
- The university does not offer housing contracts by semester. However, an exception is made for new students, who enter in the spring semester.
- Roosevelt University also offers summer housing that runs from mid-May to mid-August.

Housing Deposit Waiver
If a student is experiencing financial difficulties, students may apply for the Housing Deposit Waiver which exempts students from paying the Housing Deposit. To apply for the Housing Deposit Waiver, students shall submit a request to the Financial Aid Services office who shall verify if the student is facing financial difficulties and the need for a Housing Deposit Waiver. If approved, the Financial Aid Services office will notify the Office of Residence Life of approval and the student will be contacted via email by the Office of Residence Life once the Housing Deposit Waiver has been applied to the Student’s Housing Portal. Once the student receives the email notice from the Office of Residence Life, the student can then continue through the remainder of the application process. To apply for a Housing Deposit Waiver, students can email the Financial Aid Services office at fas@roosevelt.edu. Please note that the Housing Deposit Waiver process can take between 5-10 business days. The Application Fee is not applicable for the Housing Deposit Waiver.
HOW TO APPLY FOR HOUSING
The housing application will remain open for each term until there is no more space available. If no housing is available, students will be placed on a waitlist. Students will be assigned to a permanent room as soon as one becomes available based on when their contract and deposit were received.
