Your Next Step to Living on Campus at Seton Hall 

Step 1:

Submit your Housing Application and Deposit by June 15, 2026

There are two required steps for you to receive your housing assignment (Due by June 15, 2026).

    1. Submit your $375.00 housing deposit.
      The housing deposit can be submitted via the Seton Hall Marketplace.

    2. Complete your housing application.
      The Fall 2026 New Student Housing Application is available via your Housing Portal, which can be found on PirateNet.

Step 2:

Update your Roommate profile and explore options by June 24, 2026

Let us match you or select your roommates. It is totally up to you which method you prefer, and students have found great roommates both ways. If you choose to pre-select your roommates, follow the instructions on the Housing Portal.

Step 3: 

Receive your Room Assignment by Early July

Emails will go out in early July 2026 with details on where you will live and your roommate’s contact information. Preview a sample of your room type by visiting our virtual room tours of Aquinas Hall and Boland Hall!

Step 4:

Select your Move-In Date and Time by August 1, 2026

Once you receive your housing assignment it will be time to select your Move-In appointment to ensure a smooth Move In day for you and your family.

Housing Assignment Process for First-Year Students 

Aquinas Hall

First-year students are assigned to Aquinas Hall or Boland Hall. Students are unable to indicate preference for a specific residence hall; the Housing Portal software will assign you to a room based on your roommate group, gender, and room availability.

Housing Related Accommodation Requests 

Students with disabilities and/or medical conditions that require a specific type of housing assignment may request housing accommodations through Disability Support Services (DSS). DSS partners with the Department of Residence Life to coordinate appropriate and accessible room assignments based on documented need. The deadline to request housing accommodation through DSS is May 15.

More information regarding housing accommodations can be found on the DSS Housing Accommodations webpage.
