Housing Application Form

Living in a USF residence hall places you near all University resources and activities – enabling you to be active in the life of the campus community. By living on campus, you'll develop essential "people skills" as well as lifelong friendships. Research confirms that students residing on campus more often complete their college program than those living off campus.

All unmarried, full-time, first and second year students are required to live on campus in residence halls as long as the space is available.

The purpose of this information is to enable the University of Sioux Falls to better meet your needs.
