Important Application Dates
Residental Details
Fall 2025
Housing Contract: The priority deadline is April 1 for the best chance of getting your preferred assignment. Applications are still accepted after that deadline, and staff will do their best to still accommodate preferences.
Housing Accommodations: Submit your housing accommodation requests, such as a medical need for a single or emotional support animal, as early as possible. After the first round of Housing Assignments go out in June, space accommodations cannot be guaranteed. More on housing accommodations.
Housing Assignments: Housing assignments will start to be announced on student’s Housing Portal the middle of June, as well as emailed to student’s Webster email address. Updates with new assignments or changes will be made biweekly until move-in.
Housing Contract: Priority deadline for submitting your Housing Contract on the Housing Portal is March 1. Applications may still be accepted after that deadline depending on space, and staff will do their best to still accommodate preferences.
Housing Accommodations: If there are accommodation requests, such as a medical need for a single or emotional support animal, students should also try to renew or confirm their accommodations as soon as possible. After Housing assignments are made, accommodations cannot be guaranteed.
Housing Assignments: Returner Room Self-Selection will take place March 25-29, and that is when students with contracts will come and physically select their space. Students who submit a Housing Contract will be sent specific instructions to their Webster email on when and how to come and select their space. Students who are unavailable to come pick their specific room will be given options for a proxy, or to have Housing Staff assign them based on open spaces at the end of their room selection night.
Summer 2025 Housing
Summer housing applications for active Webster students open over Spring Break each year. Priority deadline for Summer housing applications is April 18, but applications will be accepted after on a rolling basis, as space allows. The summer application covers the Summer term when classes are in session (May 26–July 25), signing up for Bridge 1 (from the end of the Spring 2025 semester to the beginning of the summer term) and signing up for Bridge 2 (from the end of the summer term to the beginning of the Fall 2025 semester).
Living on campus gives added value to the college experience. National research shows that students who live on campus do better academically, are more engaged and have a smoother transition. Because of that, Webster has a two-year residency requirement. Even if a student is not required to live on campus, we encourage them to do so — and many do!
Requirement Details
All freshmen enrolled at the St. Louis main campus are required to live on campus for their first two years at the University. Exceptions to this requirement are granted for freshmen living with their parents within a 35-mile radius of the main campus in Webster Groves.
Undergraduate international transfer students are required to live on campus for their first year enrolled in classes at the main
campus.
All Study Abroad students (undergraduate and graduate) who study abroad at any of the St. Louis Metro campuses are required to reside in
on-campus housing for the duration of their Study Abroad experience. All site transfer
students are required to reside on campus for their first year enrolled at the Webster
Groves campus.
