Due to the significant demand for University Housing and our limited occupancy capacity, transfer students are strongly encouraged to explore alternate housing options which have been outlined here for convenience.

You can also view off-campus housing options on the Towson University Off-Campus Housing search.
Off-Campus Student Housing OptionsThe 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.
As previously mentioned, on-campus housing for transfer students is very limited so we strongly encourage you to explore alternative and off-campus housing options. The Fall 2026 Housing Request Form will go live on March 16, 2026 at Noon EST and will close on .
