October 2, 2025
Hello Golden Ram,
On Monday, October 27, 2025, at 12:00pm (EST) the 2026-2027 Returning Student Request to House Application will open for returning students interested in living on campus in WCU Managed Housing or USH Affiliated Housing for the 2026-2027 academic year (fall semester 2026 and spring semester 2027).
As a returning student, we encourage you to consider all living options. This includes exploring both on-campus housing providers--WCU Managed Housing and USH Affiliated Housing - as well as nearby off-campus living options and resources from WCU’s Student Experience office.
Between now and October 27, you can expect weekly updates related to the returning student housing process via your WCU email. Weekly updates will include information about financial aid, the housing application process, roommate matching, housing self-selection and tips to navigate the process for each provider.
