Graduate Students

Housing applications for Graduate Students are offered on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please note, there is very limited housing for Graduate Students.

If students request housing after all of our Graduate Student applications have been offered, they will be added to our request to house list and offered housing as it becomes available.

WCU Graduate Students are able to Request Housing with USH throughout the entire year, but we recommend to apply as soon as possible.

Graduate Students can only form a group with other Graduate Students.

South Campus: match with up to 3 roommates.

Submitting a group request doesn’t guarantee you’ll be placed together. If your group is selected, each person must still complete their own application and sign their lease. Once everyone has signed, you can confirm your roommate group and choose a unit together.

Notification of application offers will be emailed on November 17, 2025.

Students who receive an application must complete all necessary leasing steps in 21 days* to secure housing with USH.

If you were not selected for an application, or requested housing after November 7th, you will remain on the request to house list.

*Timeframe to complete the application process is subject to change.

If you do not receive an application on November 17th, you will be placed on the request to house list in the order of applications received.

If you request housing after November 7 at 12:00 pm, your name will be added to the request to house list in the order received.

1. Create an account in the USH Resident Portal, or log-in to your existing account. If you have previously created an account, do not create a new one.

2. Choose Housing Application and select Academic Year 2026-2027 from the drop-down menu. When submitting your request to house, you will be required to complete a housing survey. You can follow the link here to view the questions and how to complete the survey.

3. Wait for an email from leasing@ushcommunities.org on 11/17/2025 to know if you have been offered an application. If you submit your request for housing after 11/7/2025 at 12:00pm, you will not receive an email on 11/17/2025 unless there is available housing.

4. Pay $200 non-refundable application fee and fill out the application. Sign the USH Lease Agreement & Documents within designated time frame to secure housing.
