Housing Application and Assignment Process
Students at UMHB are typically required to reside in campus housing unless they meet one of the following criteria:
a. will live with a spouse, parent, or legal guardian within commuting distance of the campus;
b. have completed 48 or more accumulated hours;
c. are at least 21 years of age;

This policy applies to fall/spring semesters only. To be eligible for student housing, an individual must be enrolled and attend as a student in the university and carry a minimum of 12 undergraduate semester hours or 9 graduate semester hours (full-time status). A student who does not maintain full-time student status but wishes to continue residing in student housing may request an exception from the Director of Residence Life.
New applicants: Once a student is accepted for admission to UMHB, a student housing application may then be submitted. Completing the process includes submitting the following:
- Required deposit amount
- Completed housing application
Students living in campus housing are offered the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities and programs focused on making each facility a community where students can live and learn. View our housing options and review the housing process to learn more about living on campus.
