New Student Housing Application Process
 

1. Access your myU Portal login information
Once you have paid your University deposit, you will be able to access your myU Portal login information. View the Account Pickup page to retrieve your username and password. Please allow 24 - 48 hours for your University deposit to be processed before you attempt to login.

2. Enter the myU Portal
After retrieving your username and password you now have access to the myU Portal. Visit the Reserve Your Room page within the housing channel to access the housing application.

3. Enter the Room Reservation System
Within the Reserve Your Room page click on the "Enter Room Reservation System." You will be redirected to a different site and will need the following documentation to complete the application:

  • USD student ID number (which can be found on your acceptance letter or by contacting your admissions counselor)
  • Current contact information
  • Meal plan preference
  • Residence hall preference (note: all first-year students must live in either Coyote Village, Beede, Mickelson, or Olson Halls)
  • Be ready to answer a short survey used to match roommates (i.e. smoker/non-smoker)
Room Assignments

The Office of Student Life/Housing makes housing assignments beginning each spring. Shortly after you have been assigned to a room you will be notified of your room assignment, contact information for your roommate, and important information about living on campus.
