Residence Life

Current Students

At Mississippi College, you will find that your time living on campus will be one of your richest college experiences.

Housing sign-up will begin later in the Spring Semester. Read the Online Housing Instructions before you begin your application and room selection.

Current Students 2023-2024 Housing Application Information

Phase 1:  Clear all holds on your account.

  • You must have a $0 balance on your account in the Business Office to be able to begin your application and sign-up for housing.
  • Holds that prevent you from registering for classes will also prevent you from signing up for housing.

Phase 2: Apply for on-campus living and choose a roommate.

Starting February 26th at 10 pm (subject to change), you can log in to apply for on-campus housing. If you will be applying to live in University Place or College Plaza, you will be able to create a roommate group.

  • Apply for housing
  • Edit and update your contact information
  • Create your housing profile
  • Request or find a roommate of your choosing

Roommate requests are not guaranteed. It is a student’s responsibility to ensure that when selecting a room, if they have a confirmed roommate request, that the roommate is also placed in the room. Requesting a roommate after you have chosen a room will not automatically pull the person into the room. You are not able to directly request a transfer or a readmit student as a roommate. You will need to wait until April 13th after 9 a.m. to select those students as roommates.

Phase 3:  Room selection and housing confirmation

Starting March 20th at 5pm (according to classification) room selection will begin. Room renewal will not be available for 2023-2024 academic year. Students in upperclassmen buildings, and apartments, will not be able to select their same room for next year.

ADA rooms are not available for renewing and you must go through Counseling and Disability Services to renew those spaces. The deadline for ADA accommodations is March 15th, 2023.

Any student (current or new) who has applied for housing but misses the opportunity for room selection, which closes July 31, will have their room assigned by the Office of Residence Life according to room availability and the room preferences designated on the housing application.

If you need ADA Accommodations, you must have contacted and completed all necessary documentation with Counseling and Disability Services by March 15th.  Failure to do so will result in the inability for Residence Life to make any necessary accommodations.

Main Campus Residence Halls Instructions

Roommates will need to choose a completely empty space if you want to be together. If it reads 1/2, it means there is someone already assigned to the room.

Students of different academic classifications will not be pulled into a room together unless they are choosing a room on the lowest classification date for the two students.


If you have any questions about the room selection process, you can reach the Office of Residence Life at 601.925.3359. 

University Place and College Plaza Instructions

*If you are not currently living on campus you cannot apply for University Place or College Plaza*

You will only create a roommate group if you are a rising Sophomore, Junior, or Senior who is interested in living in University Place or College Plaza Apartments.  Please follow the steps below. Reminder: You need to have a group of 4 for University Place, a group of 2 for College Plaza A and C, or a group of 4 for College Plaza B. 

  • If applying for University Place Apartments, create your roommate group (4 people per apartment) labeled "University Place - YOUR UNIQUE GROUP NAME"
  • If applying for College Plaza Apartments A and C, create your roommate group (2 people per apartment) labeled "College Plaza 2- YOUR UNIQUE GROUP NAME"
  • If applying for College Plaza Apartments B, create your roommate group (4 people per apartment) labeled "College Plaza 4- YOUR UNIQUE GROUP NAME"
  • Designate someone from your apartment group to create your group's username and password.  The group leader will then select "Create a New Group."  Remember that only 1 person from the group needs to create the group and you can only be a part of one group.
  • The group leader shares the username and password with the other members of the apartment group. Those individuals will need to select add "Yourself to a Group." You will see your name added to the group once you have added yourself to the group. 
  • Once everyone in the apartment has been added to the group, the Group Leader will need to go back and select "Verify Roommate Group."
  • If you do not get an apartment or want to live in another residence hall, you will return to the housing portal on your assigned priority date
