Apply For Housing

Shenandoah University requires all First-Year students to live on campus. In order to secure housing for the upcoming year, you will need to complete the online application through the myHousing Portal.

myHousing Portal

Before logging into the portal for the first time, you must set up your Shenandoah University student credentials. Please contact Admissions at admit@hwfj-art.com. Once you have set up your SU student credentials, return to the home screen of the myHousing Portal.

Housing Application Tutorial

All students seeking university housing must fill out a housing application. Once you have selected the “Housing Application,” please fill out all information and remember to save and continue at the end of each page.

Residence Life cannot guarantee that all residence hall preferences will be met.

All communication about the housing process, information sessions, and housing status will be sent through Shenandoah University’s Residence Life email.

Apply for Housing

Select a Roommate

If you know who you want to room with, you must request that person to your group. By accepting an invitation, you are automatically assigned/given preference to that student. DO NOT accept an invitation if you are not confident in rooming with that student. You have the ability to add multiple people to your group, but preference will be given in the order that those individuals accept your invitation. Roommate requests must be mutual. Unanswered or declined roommate requests will not result in roommate pairings.

Match with a Roommate

Roommate matches are determined based on your answers to the Roommate Matching Questions. You can view your suggested roommates by clicking “Suggested Roommates.” Your Suggested Roommates are students who answered questions similarly to you. If you are interested in reaching out to your suggested roommates, you can send them a message by clicking “Send Message”. This communication will appear in the upper right corner of your screen. Request the suggested roommates you would most like to room with into your Roommate Group.

Be Paired with a Roommate

If a student does not have a confirmed Roommate Group by July, they will be assigned to a room with a student of similar preferences as indicated by your Roommate Matching Questions.

You can log onto the myHousing Portal using your Shenandoah username and password. The housing application will only work on a desktop or laptop computer, not on a mobile device.

Apply for Housing

All students seeking university housing must fill out a housing application and make a $131 deposit. Room selection times are NOT assigned on a first come first serve basis. All students that have submitted their housing deposit and Applied for housing by the deadline noted in the important housing dates will be assigned a random number for the room selection process.

Students who do not pay their deposit or submit their application will not participate in Room Selection. Instead, they will be assigned to the remaining spaces available.

Roommate requests must be confirmed by both students. Unanswered or declined requests will not result in roommate pairings.

If you apply for housing before the housing application deadline, you will receive an email notification with your room selection time slot and room selection instructions.

The Village Apartments are four-bedroom apartments open to junior and senior students. Priority is given to seniors and groups of four applying to fill an entire apartment. Students are selected based on an application, a minimum GPA 2.5, conduct history, and faculty/staff recommendation letters. All four residents must meet the application requirements to live in the apartment. The Village residents are selected to be mentors and positive role models for other Shenandoah students.

Applications are anonymized and reviewed by a committee.

Priority for Solenberger housing is given to current graduate students. If you are a senior applying for graduate programs at Shenandoah you will not be eligible until you are accepted into your graduate program. Once you have been accepted, you will need to email Residence Life your letter and we will provide you access to the graduate housing application at that time.
