  • Applications-There are numerous application periods in which students should be aware that are normally set for the same time frame each year,
    where students apply for housing (room & meals) if they desire to live on campus or where students apply for Residence Life job opportunities (Resident Assistant or Night Desk Attendant).  The Office of Residence Life advertises these application periods through various mediums, such as student email, posting of signs around campus, via the Residence Life webpage /housing, MyTSU, Facebook, etc.
  • Assignments-Room and Meal assignments for the academic year are made based on the completed housing applications on a first come-first served basis.  The Residence Life Assignments Office launches the housing applications for the upcoming academic year, usually in the spring semester at the beginning of March.  The Residence Life Assignments Office launches the housing applications for the spring semester only, during the fall semester, usually mid-October. Students are also assigned rooms and meal plans based on the facilities and meal plans in which they qualify.  For instance, students should have earned 60 or more credit hours at the time in which room assignments are made, in order to qualify for the University apartments and freshmen (students who’ve earned less than 30 credit hours) are required to participate in the Freshmen Meal plan which is the maximum meal plan.
