Information for All Students

This housing application/contract is a legally binding agreement. Please carefully read the terms and conditions of the contract before you sign it and go ahead with your application. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must also sign this contract. Even if you are over 18, we ask that your parent/legal guardian review this contract so they understand that you are entering into a legally binding agreement.

If you decide not to attend Morehead State University or choose not to live in housing after you complete the process, you are responsible for terminating this contract. You will also forfeit your housing prepayment (new students) or pay the applicable Contract Break Fee(s) (returning students). You must terminate this contract via email to housing@moreheadstate.edu from your MSU student email account. You will receive an email confirmation from the Office of Student Housing that your contract has been canceled. This applies to new and returning students.

No other form of communication for contract termination will be accepted unless otherwise specified. The official termination date of this contract will be when the Office of Student Housing receives the termination notification. For returning students, the timing of your termination notice determines the amount of the Contract Break Fee. You can review the fee amount(s) at the end of your contract, which was sent to your student email the day you completed your contract.

We will communicate with you through your MSU email account. Please check it regularly and understand that failure to check it does not relieve you of any obligations under this contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are. To be eligible to apply and subsequently live in Eagle Lake Apartments or Mays Hall Apartments, students must have 48 credit hours and at least a 2.5 GPA.

In general, students who complete the transfer student application will be placed in an upper-division residence hall, as first-year halls are staffed and programmed specifically for first-year students and their unique adjustments. However, if you feel like you would benefit from more focused attention and efforts, please reach out, and we will work with you.

All full-time students under 21 who have not completed four semesters of residence are required to reside on campus. If your parent/guardian lives within 50 miles of campus, you're married, you're a single parent, or if you have other specific circumstances, you may apply to commute. However, you must have an Exemption Request Form (waiver request) on file with Student Housing.

Any student seeking to live with particular people must match with them via their housing self-service portal before selecting a room. Additional instructions, including same-room sign-ups, will be emailed before the room selection process. Please remember that if you don't match and confirm room pairings, there is no guarantee that the pairing will be accommodated. If you are an upper-class student trying to live with first-year students or vice versa, please contact our office to complete and/or be assigned. Your process will be a bit different.

Yes. Even if you are in a special interest group that assigns your housing for you (student-athletes, first-year Honors students, etc.), you still need to complete a housing contract. You may be able to disregard room selection processes, but you should let your organization know more about placement and process.
