APPLY FOR HOUSING
To apply for housing at WKU, you must complete a Housing Agreement.
Upon execution of this agreement by both parties and payment of the deposit, this contract becomes effective and constitutes a binding agreement for the full academic year (Fall and Spring Semester), or the remain portion thereof.*Required Housing Policy
Freshmen and sophomores (less than 60 hours) are required to live on campus, space permitting.
Exemptions include students who are:
- Veterans of military service (181 days or more)
- Married
- Have dependent children
- 21 years of age or older
- Members of fraternities or sororities living in chapter houses (sophomores only), or
- Commuting from their parents' permanent address.
Requests for exemption based upon special circumstances (defined as unique and unusual) will also be considered. Exemption Request Forms are available for download or available at the Department of Housing and Residence Life. A fee of $1000 per semester is assessed to students who are in non-compliance with this policy.
The priority deadline to apply for housing is March 31.
You do not need to wait to be admitted to WKU or attend an ATP to apply for housing. Since room assignments are made based on the date we receive your application, the sooner you apply, the better your chances of getting the preferences you requested. With the continual growth of our incoming freshmen class, the need to apply early is more important than it has ever been before.
