Apply for Housing

1. Set up your USD account.

Before you can access the housing application, you'll need to take care of a couple logistical steps. Find your USD student ID number (available on your acceptance letter or by contacting your admissions counselor) so you can cross these items off your list:

• Pick up your USD email account. If you have taken dual credit courses through USD, your email address will remain the same.
• Register for Duo Authentication.

2. Make your commitment to USD and apply for housing.

Let us know that you're ready to become a Coyote by submitting your $100 University Housing Deposit. The 2023-24 housing application is now open. On-campus housing is usually in high demand, so apply early.

Here are the decisions you'll get to make and the information you'll need to provide:

• Contact information
• Meal plan preference (available for selection in May)
• Residence hall preference (Note: All first-year students cannot live in McFadden.)
• Short survey used to match roommates (i.e., smoker/non-smoker)

3. Select your room.

After completing the housing application, the next step is room self-selection. University Housing contacts students about self-selecting a room, room assignment confirmation and important housing updates. Please check your USD email account regularly.

Confirmation emails of housing assignments are released in April and weekly thereafter for the coming fall semester. You will receive your room assignment, contact information for your roommate and important information about living on campus, so please check your USD email account regularly.
