Apply Now!

Eligibility to apply and contract starts by joining the standby list. Offers for housing are dependent upon space availability, and will be sent to the students KU email address. Please check emails often. Students will have 24 hours to accept an offer and complete their contract. Being on the standby list does not guarantee on campus housing and students are encouraged to seek housing off-campus.

Apply in the myKU portal.

Your application is submitted through the myKU portal, not the Housing & Residence Life website. If you have not established your KU online ID, first visit the MyIdentity Account Setup page.
