Living on campus is a pivotal part of the college experience. It’s where friendships flourish, late-night study sessions happen, and a sense of belonging takes root. Our residential halls offer a supportive environment that complements academic pursuits. We encourage all eligible individuals to explore the comprehensive information about the application and selection process on our website. From deadlines to room preferences, everything you need to know awaits you there! Specific details regarding the cost of housing are available on the University's Tuition and Fees page.

Students interested in living on-campus for the 2026-2027 academic year are invited to submit a housing application through the eRezLife portal. All first year students are guaranteed on-campus housing and can submit their Fall 2026 housing application as soon as they receive their Neumann log-in credentials.

As of July 1st, housing will be offered on a space availability basis as some options or communities may have limited availability.

New students interested in Spring 2027 housing only are invited to apply for housing beginning November 2026. Space for the spring semester is on an availability basis as some communities or housing options may be limited. More information will be sent to students before Thanksgiving Break.

To accommodate as many students as possible in University housing, the Office of Residence Life reserves the right to place students in extended housing triple rooms. These triple rooms are designed as larger double rooms, providing more square footage for three students. Each student in an extended housing triple room will have a bed, desk, desk chair, and wardrobe.

Anticipated plans involve moving all extended housing students into permanent double rooms by the spring semester. Reimbursements from the extended housing program will be posted to the student’s account after they have been offered or accommodated in a permanent double room assignment.

The University provides staff and services to support students residing in extended housing, including exclusive programming and assistance in establishing roommate agreements. All students living in extended housing will be invited to meet with the

Housing Operations Coordinator, their Graduate Hall Director, and Resident Assistant during the second week of the fall semester to learn more about the process and timeline for transitioning to permanent double assignments.

The university's activities are designed to promote its continuing policy of providing equal opportunity for employment and education and access to all programs and services without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, gender identity, political affiliation, veteran’s status, or disability. If accommodations related to housing are required for a documented medical or psychological need, a request must be submitted to Accessibility Services.

If you have needs that necessitate special housing accommodations, students are required to register with the Office of Accessibility Services, including providing documentation. The completed form must be returned to the Office of Accessibility Services. Once documentation has been received, your request will be considered. Every effort will be made to accommodate approved requests. However, only requests approved or renewed by established housing priority deadlines will be guaranteed. Requests after housing priority deadlines will be on a space availability basis only. Once the request is approved, Residence Life will reach out to provide housing information.

Additional information regarding requests for accommodations is available on the Office of Accessibility Services website.

A learning community is a unique residential experience where students with a shared social or academic interest live together, engage in specialized programming connected to their interests, and collaboratively support each other's success. Neumann University currently offers two learning communities for first-year and returning students connected to the University's RISES values. Below are the Learning Community options for the 2026-2027 academic year. Additional information is available on the Learning Community website.

What is the cost of on-campus housing?

Students can see housing and meal plan rates on the University's Tuition & Fees website.

Are residential students required to have a meal plan?

All residential students are required to have a meal plan. All other residential students must select either the Unlimited, 125-Block, or 100-Block meal plans. A student can only select the 60-Block meal plan if they are residing in an apartment-style community. If a student selects the 60-Block meal plan on the housing application but does not have a housing assignment that is an apartment-style community, Residence Life will adjust the residents' meal plan to an Unlimited Meal Plan.

Students who have a disability or medical reason that would not permit them to have a meal plan should request an exemption/accommodation through the Office of Accessibility Services.

What housing options are available for first-year students?

First-year students will be primarily housed in O'Neill Hall or Glen Riddle Hall, which is Suite-Style Semi-Private Bathroom. The only exception to this are students who express interest in our learning communities and are selected to be placed in them.

Are returning students allowed to 'squat' in their same housing assignment?

No, returning students are not permitted to 'squat' or opt to remain in their current housing assignment prior to the start of housing selection. If available during their selection time, returning students may select the same housing assignment they previously held. However, if students remain in the same housing assignment, they are required to remove all belongings at the end of the academic year. Neumann University does not offer storage for residential students over the summer.

What is the importance of the Housing Priority Deadline?

The housing priority deadline is the date students should seek to submit their housing application if they would like to have the highest likelihood of living with their desired roommate, living in a learning community or specialty housing, having their housing accommodation(s) guaranteed, or for returning students, would like to select their own housing. In addition to submitting the housing application by this date, students must verify all roommates in their roommate group, have renewed/been approved for their housing accommodations by Accessibility Services, be registered for classes in the fall, and must not have a financial hold.

Students may still submit housing applications after their housing priority deadline. However, returning students will be placed on a waitlist until after housing selection is complete. At that time, Residence Life staff will work with the student to select their housing assignment.

Can first-year students reside in an apartment-style community?

Only first-year students with an approved housing accommodation for kitchen access in an apartment-style community can reside in that housing type.

How do I sign up for a meal plan?

All residential students are required to maintain a meal plan. Resident students select their meal plan choice on their Housing Application.

How can I change my meal plan?

Residents can request to change their meal plan until Friday, July 3 by emailing reslife@neumann.edu.
All other meal plan adjustments can only be made until the first Friday of the semester. You can change your meal plan selection by completing the Meal Plan Change Form through the Business Office.
Students who require a meal plan exemption based on an approved accommodation should reach out to The Accessibility Services Center, who will review requests and coordinate any necessary approvals.

How do I indicate a preferred roommate or suitemate on my housing application?

If you have the name of a potential roommate or suitemate, submit your Housing Application first. Then, when you log into the eRezLife Housing Portal, on the home screen, you will see two recommended actions. You can create a roommate group by using the email of your preferred roommate or suitemate.

You may also search for a roommate. Go to your home screen and you will see two recommended actions. You can create a roommate profile and add information about yourself, or you can search within the system for a roommate match.

All individuals in a roommate group MUST BE CONFIRMED, indicated with a green check mark next to each person's name, by the Housing Priority Deadline. Groups confirmed after that date and time may only be assigned together if there is space available. Roommate/suitemate pairs that are not confirmed will not be placed together.

Can I participate in a Learning Community, but live with someone who is not in the community?

At this time, based on demand for the Learning Community programs, students will need to reside with other individuals who are also in the same Learning Community. If space becomes available in the community, students will be contacted regarding the opportunity to have non-learning community roommates. On the housing application, Learning Community interest is given greater priority than roommate requests.
