WELCOME TO LIFE ON CAMPUS!

It's more than just a room with a bed and a desk.

Norfolk State University residence halls offer a variety of accommodations that reflect the diversity of our student population. You'll learn from each other and together you can broaden your college experience and create life-long bonds with your classmates and fellow hall-mates.

The deadline for priority housing for the fall semester is May 31st. The deadline for the spring semester is November 1st. Students may apply on-line or by regular mail. A non-refundable $300.00 deposit is required at the time of application. The Office of Residence Life & Housing will attempt to accommodate roommate requests made on or before the deadline; however, we cannot guarantee preferred roommate accommodations at any time as housing is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students desiring to become roommates should apply for housing and pay their housing deposit at the same time or within a 48-hour timeframe in order to increase the likelihood of preferred roommate accommodations.

We will not process any incomplete housing applications or applications submitted without the required $300 non-refundable deposit.

Students who apply for housing on or before the May 31st deadline will receive their housing assignment via mail after June 16th. For the spring semester, students who apply on or before November 1st will receive their housing assignment via mail after December 1st. Students who apply after the deadline will be granted on-campus housing pending availability.

Many of our students choose to participate in The Residential First Year Experience (R-FYE) or in one of our Living/Learning Communities (LLCs). Participation in these programs will partially determine housing placement, as each program is housed in a specific building. The Office of Residence Life & Housing offers valuable programming within the R-FYE program as well as the LLCs. We also offer a myriad of programs for all resident students. Our programs are holistic in nature and provide students an opportunity to broaden their horizons, engage in intellectual conversations, expand their viewpoints, and enhance their academic experience. Whether it's participating in a fashion show, eating pizza in their hall lobby with their floor-mates, attending a seminar on how to write a resume, or listening to a lecture on the African Diaspora, our Residence Life staff works hard to ensure there is something of interest happening for every student!
