Welcome to Shippensburg University Housing
Incoming First-Year and Transfer Students
1) Each new student is required to complete one of two housing options upon confirmation with Shippensburg University.
a) Sign a housing agreement and pay a $200 deposit.
b) Sign a housing exemption in order to commute or live off campus. 
2) Students can access a Facebook Application called RoomSync. The link is in the payment screen for the housing deposit and will be emailed to incoming students at the Shippensburg University email account periodically.
3) After an incoming student confirms housing he/she will periodically be placed in a housing lottery in order to request roommates in the MyHousing portal. After students find a roommate he/she will go into the MyHousing portal and mutually match each other before selecting a room. You must have a matching roommate in order to fill the room.
4) The Overview/Summary page of your MyHousing portal stores the room assignments, roommate information, and room lottery details. When students are in a room lottery the system will allow the students to enter roommate requests and/or select rooms. After students have matched each other in the system the first roommate of the matching pair/s will select a room and pull the other students into the room. Room selections are final. Note: Incoming Spring 2014 students will not select their own rooms, but be placed by the Housing Office during the winter break.
New suite selections (Presidents Hall, McLean Hall II and Seavers Hall) will begin on April 2 and end on June 14, 2013. Currently most suites have been selected, so there may not be any when you select the find available rooms button. If a suite comes available we will place it in the lottery between now and June 14th. Honors Program housing is available on the first floor of Presidents Hall. Tradtional Hall rooms (Harley, McLean{5th floor is Healthy Living}, Mowrey and Naugle Halls)will be available in a lottery from June 17 to July 1, 2013. Lottery times will be awarded in housing confirmation order. Healthy Living Website
5) Students who are living in university housing should complete housing preferences (personal and living preferences). Even if you request a specific roommate, or select your own room we recommend you enter your preferences. The Housing Office will use the preference information any time we make the Housing Assignment. Keep in mind preferences entered after assignments have been made will not be considered. You can enter and edit your preferences at any time.
6) Students who do not select a room will be assigned by the Housing Office based on the preferences in the MyHousing portal based on the housing confirmation date. Most assignments will be posted in the MyHousing Portal by July 31st.
