Move-in Dates for Freshmen
To Apply for On Campus Housing
Before you can apply, you will need your official Appalachian username and password. You will receive this information in the mail at your home address about 2 weeks after you receive your admission decision letter. The housing application deadline is May 1, 2008.
Your First Connections' checklist will include a link to the housing application after you receive your admission decision letter.
On campus housing not guaranteed for transfer students
Appalachian cannot guarantee on-campus housing for transfer students. Transfer students are assigned housing after freshmen and returning students have been assigned. To improve your chances of getting on-campus housing, respond quickly to your admission offer quickly and return the non-refundable advance payment right away.
