 New Students Apply for Housing

Now that you have been accepted to Northern Illinois University, it is time to apply for your housing. We are thrilled you have chosen NIU, and we anticipate your arrival.

 

NIU is now accepting housing applications from new students for the 2008-2009 academic year. You must be admitted to Northern Illinois University to apply for housing. First-year freshmen are required to live in an NIU residence hall unless they are commuting from the permanent address of their parent or legal guardian. 

 

If you are newly admitted to NIU, we have your demographic information from the Admissions Office. To complete your housing application you will fill out some basic information and pay a $150 prepayment via Visa or Mastercard, $125 of which is applied to your housing fees. The credit card payment process is a secure network. 

 

After you have completed the application, you will receive a confirmation letter from Housing & Dining. You will be notified to return to this Web site and select your room. It is recommended that you begin exploring the large variety of living options, so you are fully informed when you select your room.

 

To apply for housing you must be using Internet Explorer or Netscape. The application system is NOT compatible with Safari or Mozilla Firefox.
