Incoming Freshmen Housing

Spring 2026 Housing

The Spring Housing Request form will open on November 5, 2025 at 12:00pm EST via the Living@TU Portal. Spring Housing is on a first come, first serve basis based on the amount of availability we will have.

Receiving a Housing Offer as Space Becomes Available: As spaces become available, students are offered housing via their Towson University email address with instructions on how to complete the housing offer process. Students must accept the housing offer by completing the Housing Contract and submitting a $350 non-refundable Housing Advance Payment by the offer due date, typically 3-4 days of receiving the offer or the offer will expire and the student will be removed from the waitlist.

Housing Contract Cancellations for 2025-2026

A student who wishes to be released from this Contract prior to the first day of fall classes (the “Fall Pre-Term Period”) but who does not meet the criteria listed for cancellation set forth within the Housing Contract, may elect to pay a Fall Pre-Term Cancellation Fee and be released.  A Fall Pre-Term Cancellation Request Form must be completed and submitted by the student before the first day of Fall Classes. The applicable Pre-Term Cancellation Fee amount will be assessed in accordance with the following fee schedule:

Pre-Term Cancellation Fee Amount	Start Date	End Date
No Fee	January 31	May 15
$350	May 16	June 15
$550	June 16	July 15
$700	July 16	Aug 24

Cancellation Fee. Cancellations approved after the Fall Pre-Term Period schedule (above) will be assessed a $350 cancellation fee to the student upon cancellation of the Housing Contract (whether initiated by the University or at student’s request). To initiate a housing contract cancellation, students must submit a Housing Contract Cancellation request via the Living@TU Portal.

Gender-Inclusive Housing

All housing assignments are made based on legal sex unless the student requests Gender Inclusive Housing. Gender-inclusive housing can be requested during the application process.

Medical Accommodations

Students that have a medical need for medical-related housing accommodations must submit their accommodation request through the office of Accessibility and Disability Services. Students are permitted to submit medical accommodation requests after the June 2nd priority deadline, however, the ability to fulfill approved requests will decrease as placement will depend on the remaining available spaces.
