As a newly accepted or current Rockhurst University student, you will use this website to apply for campus housing, sign your contract (lease agreement), pay your $200 housing application/security deposit fee with a credit card (new students only), and submit your housing preferences. All of the information is here to make your housing application experience quick and easy.
Please follow the simple housing application instructions below. Before proceeding to the on-line application all students should download and print the Housing Contract Packet. Please review this contract thoroughly before accepting the terms and conditions in the Housing Contract. Note: If you plan to live in Xavier-Loyola Hall and wish to rent a loft, please go to www.loftconcepts.com to order your loft. Not all X-L rooms have bunk-able beds. Lofts cannot be rented through the Residence Life office; McGee Hall and Corcoran Hall already have loft-able furniture so those residents do not need to rent lofts. All lofts ordered by July 10th will be set up in advance of the student's arrival on campus.
Housing Assignments will be emailed and mailed to students’ permanent addresses by July 1. By completing this housing contract you are committing to live on campus for the full 2009-2010 academic year (unless granted an exemption by the Office of Residence Life.) To cancel this housing contract you must submit the Contract Cancellation form by May 8, 2009 to avoid fall housing charges on your student account. If you complete an application for the new contract year, your housing security deposit is non-refundable and will be lost if the contract is cancelled before the completion of the full academic year [May, 2010].
Welcome Teach for America Corps members!
Rockhurst University offers several different housing options for Teach for America corps members. Rockhurst has accommodations that include traditional residence hall rooms, townhouses, and University owned houses adjacent to campus.

All Rockhurst property is patrolled by our university security department, and we have full time staff available to you should a need arise. Best of all, housing and meal fees can be charged to your student account and can be paid with student loans or other eligible grants!
Contract Forfeiture Notice: Group applications for Townhouse Village or On-Campus Housing become final contracts as of the date of the group house award. Any student cancelling out of an awarded group contract is subject to a $300 cancellation fee as well as forfeiture of the housing security deposit.
For Residence Hall students, should the student cancel the contract prior to the fall move-in date, the student will only lose the $200 security deposit. After the fall move-in date [August 15, 2009], a housing cancellation will result in both the loss of the security deposit as well as a $300 housing contract cancellation fee that will be charged to the student's account.
