Transfer students can choose from any of our three residence hall spaces. For room configurations please visit our residence halls webpage by clicking the blue link at left. As you are making this important decision, please consider these options.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Third floor west wing of Marian Hall hosts our\u00a0Transfer Living Learning Community<\/strong>. This community is co-educational and specifically designed for incoming transfer students. All residents on this wing are sophomore status or higher. Living with other transfer students in a shared space going through similar experiences can be a great help as you transition into University of St. Francis. Beyond the resident assistant on the wing there are also current USF students who transferred in previously, living on the wing to plan programs and create community building opportunities. Also, students in this wing get to move in earlier than other transfer and returning students, making your move in day much easier.<\/p>

The fourth floor of Tower and Motherhouse boast a more\u00a0quiet style living community<\/strong>. These spaces are commonly occupied by junior and senior level students who are focused on their major-related courses. Students choose to live in these spaces to be close to classes and dining options. Many student suggest selecting these options as they were very helpful to them.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Housing applications are available on the USF portal. New students do need their username and password to log in. The application may be submitted online here.<\/a><\/p>

Students are encouraged to submit their application before June 1.<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Roommates are assigned based on the answers to questions found on the housing application. Those individuals with similar interests and lifestyle habits are placed together to the best of our ability using the information from your application. Students may request a particular roommate by listing that person\u2019s name on the housing application. In order to be placed together, both individuals must list the other as their desired roommate. Both students must have their applications submitted by June 1.<\/p>

When are housing assignments made?<\/strong><\/p>

Staff members begin making housing assignments for freshman and transfer students in April and continue through August. Letters that include room placement are mailed in April and in June. Please contact the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) if you feel housing accommodations are needed due to a disability, including requests for an air conditioner. Questions about housing assignments may be directed to the Dean of Students, Ceddi Carver, at ccarver@stfrancis.edu.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
