Returning Student Housing

Important Update on Student Housing – Returning Student Waitlist Activated

The Fall 2025 housing application was launched on February 15, 2025. As of February 25, 2025, we have reached our Returning Student housing capacity. Therefore, we have activated the Fall 2025 Returning Student waitlist. If you would like to be considered for housing should space become available, we encourage you to complete the waitlist application and add your name to the returning student waitlist as soon as possible. To access the Returning Student Waitlist Housing Application, please use the following link:  https://morgan.rms-inc.com/page/housing. Please be sure to complete all required information and hit the FINISH Button to submit your application. With the waitlist application, you are not required to pay the $200.00 application fee at this point. Students will be contacted via their Morgan email account if a space becomes available. Students will remain on the housing waitlist until we are able to issue them an offer if space becomes available. It’s important to note that students on the housing waitlist are not guaranteed housing. Please be advised that it is extremely important you are registered full-time (12 credits) and have made satisfactory financial arrangements to cover the potential cost of tuition, fees, room, and board. 

Welcome, as a returning student, you have the opportunity to select housing from our off-campus housing facilities. Please know that housing for Returning students on-campus is very limited. Additionally, returning students are eligible for housing at Morgan View. Please access the following link (Morgan View) to apply for housing at Morgan View. We strongly encourage you not to apply for both University Manage Housing and housing at Morgan View. Please be reminded that the University Managed Housing application fee is non-refundable.

Step #1: How To Apply

1. Go to www.morgan.edu/reslife.
2. Click on "Access the Student Housing Portal" located on the right column under the blue "Additional Resources" section.
3. Log in to the student housing portal using your University username and password. Remember that your username is all lowercase ending after the number in your address. Your password is the same password used for your email. 
4. Please select your respective application link (Returning Student). If you receive an error message, please contact our office at reslife@morgan.edu. 
5. While completing your housing application:

• You will select four (4) different building preferences. Please note that these preference selections will be used as a guide should you not participate in the “Self-Selection” process.
• Complete roommate compatibility information (Note: This is a system-generated compatibility survey for general assignment purposes). This is not a roommate selection process.
• The University does not offer roommate selection. However, you can best achieve a preferred roommate by coordinating the timing of your application submission and participation in the “Self-Selection “process.
• Pay your $200 non-refundable application fee.
• Students residing in on-campus housing are required to have minimally the Silver Anytime Dining Plan.

6. Remember, your application has not been submitted until you have clicked on the big red finish button at the end of the application. You will not be able to change meal plans (if applicable) or be assigned housing without completing this step.
7. Students will be notified via their Morgan State University email account only when it is their turn to access the system and make their housing assignment request.

8. Please be advised that you will not receive notification of your check-in day and time if you are not full-time (12-credits) registered and have made satisfactory financial arrangements with the Office of the Bursar. 

Step #2: Residential Self-Selection Process

The Self-Selection process is a provision for providing a fair and efficient way for students to make a housing assignment request. The process starts with the completion and submission of a housing application, following all guidelines. Housing assignments are based on the date and time an application is submitted, ensuring a fair opportunity for all students. It is the purpose of the Office of Residence Life & Housing (ORL&H) to make student housing assignments via a fair and equitable process. To ensure a smooth experience, please be sure to read the steps in the process and review the video for detailed instructions:

Self-Selection Process

• Self-selection will start on March 15, 2025.
• The process is based on the date a student submits their application.
• Each submitted application is numbered and processed for self-selection based on the date and time stamp when the completed application is received.
• A determined number of applications, based on the date received, will be processed for self-selection.

Notification & Selection Window

• Students will be notified via their Morgan State University email account only when it is their turn to access the system and make their housing assignment request.
• Students will have 48 hours from the date their self-selection notification was emailed to them to access the system and select their housing assignment.
• It is critical to immediately access the system when notified to ensure timely selection.

Missed Self-Selection Window

• If a student misses their self-selection window, their preferences will be used to make the best assignment possible, if available.

Housing Accommodations

• Approved housing accommodations will be assigned based on the approved accommodation by the Office of Student Disabilities Support Services (SDSS).
• SDSS-approved assignments will be made by the assignments office.

Important Considerations

• The later you submit your application, the lower your chances of receiving your preferred housing assignment.
• Housing is not guaranteed and is considered a privilege.
• ORL&H will make every effort, by the established process, to provide you with your selected assignment.

Check-In Notification

Notification of your check-in day and time will be sent to your Morgan State University email account. Please see the important dates calendar for check-in dates for Fall 2025.
