Students who wish to participate in any of our Roommate Selection processes (either for new incoming students or returning upper-class students) must complete a Roommate Survey.  Before you begin, check out the page below for more important information regarding Housing processes.

• Housing Basics for New Students (Freshmen and Transfers) 
• Housing Basics for Returning Students 

Before You Submit Your Roommate Survey 

• Read the Housing License.  You must agree to the Terms and Conditions of this license. 
• Make Your Housing Deposit. 
  • Students New to Housing - Pay your Housing Deposit  
  • Students Returning to Housing - Pay your Room Reservation Housing Deposit
• Availability is Limited. Housing is not guaranteed. However, Seton Hall will set aside 1,200 beds for new students. We encourage all incoming students to pay the housing deposit of $375 by May 1, if not sooner. 

When You Submit Your Roommate Survey

• SHU ID. You will need your ID number, which can be found on the back of your ID Card or in your acceptance letter. 
• Starting Semester. Please select the first semester for which you would like housing.
• Special Accommodations. If you need ADA accommodations, your housing application will be held until your request has been reviewed by Disability Support Services.
• Meal Plans. All students who live in our on campus residence halls (Aquinas, Boland, Cabrini, Neumann, Serra, or Xavier Halls) must select a meal plan. You can change your plan at any time during the Add/Drop period. Learn about meal plan options and rates. 

After You Apply  

• Room Assignments. Your residence hall or apartment and your roommate(s) will be e-mailed to your SHU e-mail address and the address you provided on your roommate survey in mid-July. They can also be viewed on your Housing Profile on PirateNet. 
• Billing Questions. Read the overview of housing billing, deposits and refunds. 
• Cancel Your Deposit. If you decide to cancel your deposit, submit your Housing cancellation form. New incoming student housing deposits are non-refundable after May 1st and returning student housing deposits are non-refundable.

Housing staff will be hosting online chats once a month in the spring and twice a month in the summer.  Contact the Housing Office at (973) 761-9172 or via e-mail at shuhousing@shu.edu if you have any questions or comments.
