Returning Students Housing
Academic Year 2026-2027Step-by-step instructions on how to apply for on-campus housing if you are a returning student.
Returning Student Housing Phase II
All returning students are now eligible to participate in the Phase II Housing Application process for the 2026-2027 academic year. Returning housing will be in St. Julie Hall at Emmanuel College, Edwards & Rodgers Halls at Wentworth Institute of Technology, and The Bon on Boylston Street. Space is limited, and offers will be made as room becomes available.
Eligibility Requirements:
- This process is only for returning students.
- Students must be in good conduct standing. Any student who is currently on or is placed on deferred loss of residence that extends beyond May 1, 2026, is not eligible to participate in this process.
- Must be in good financial standing; students on a payment plan must be up to date on payments.
- Must be enrolled in/planning to enroll in a full-time, in-person course load for the 2026-2027 academic year. Students in part-time courses or fully online delivery will not be permitted to live on campus.
- If an offer of housing is made, by signing the housing contract, students commit to live on campus for the full 2026-2027 academic year (both Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 semesters).
The interest form for the 2026-2027 academic year will remain open in the housing portal throughout the summer, and housing vacancies will be filled on a rolling basis as they become available. Building and roommate preferences are not collected at this time, as assignments will strictly be based upon open availability. Priority will be given to students who apply earlier.
Filling out the Phase II Interest Form does not ensure on-campus housing, and it is possible you will not be offered housing at all. We encourage all students to review our off-campus housing resources.
Phase II Housing Application Timeline
Complete Interest form
To participate in the Phase II Housing Application process, students must log into the Residence Life Portal and complete the Phase II Housing Selection Interest Form, indicating they would like to apply for on-campus housing for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Housing Space Placement
As space becomes available up until fall move-in in August, students who have applied for housing will be offered the option of filling these vacancies. There is no roommate selection process, as offers will be based on the spaces that have opened. These offers will be on a rolling basis beginning in late April and continuing throughout the summer. If selected for on-campus housing prior to July, you’ll be notified of the building in which you’ve been placed and receive instructions to complete the Housing Contract and the $500 Returning Housing Deposit. Room assignments are sent in mid-July.
Deposit and Housing Contract
To finalize their space through the Phase II Housing Application Process, students must pay a $500 deposit using a credit or debit card. Students will be sent the deposit link and instructions to sign their Housing Contract once an offer for housing has been made. The contract requires staying on campus for the full academic year (Fall 2026 and Spring 2027). Failure to complete both action items will result in the space being offered to another student on the application list.
Notification of Room Assignment Mid-July
Notification of room assignment sent to MCPHS email. Move-in dates will be published when finalized with the University.
