Application Process for
Graduate Residents
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 apply for housing after all of our Graduate Student applications have been offered, they will be added to our waitlist and will be offered housing as it becomes available.
WCU Graduate Students are able to apply for 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.
Applications are processed as they are received starting after January 11, 2027 at 12:00 pm.
Students who receive an application must complete all necessary leasing steps within the deadline to secure housing.
If you were not selected for an application you will be placed on a waitlist.
If you do not receive an application, you will be placed on the waitlist in the order of applications 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 Application and select Academic Year 2027-2028 from the drop-down menu.
3. Wait for an email from leasing@ushcommunities.org to know if you have been offered an application.
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.
