Housing is not guaranteed. Do not arrive on campus without a confirmed assignment!
Housing is available at the end of August for the fall semester and at the end of January for the spring semester. The University cannot accommodate new students in the residence halls any earlier!
A $250 housing deposit (non-refundable after July 1 for the fall semester and December 1 for the spring semester) must accompany this application and be sent to the Drew University Housing Office.
Housing assignments are made in conjunction with the Dean’s office of the appropriate school. Factors such as scholarship, date the application is received, degree program and availability of space are considered when assigning incoming students.
Married couples and domestic partners must be able to provide documentation of their status, if requested. Documentation can be a marriage certificate, domestic partnership agreement, mortgage agreement or deed showing joint ownership, co-parenting agreement or another document that establishes a joint responsibility for each other’s welfare and financial obligations.
