Housing

New students arriving at St. Cloud State University (SCSU) from abroad are required to make timely application if they wish to reside in an on-campus residence hall. We encourage international students to live in a residence hall in order to make the adjustment to SCSU easier - providing you opportunities to meet other students and get involved with activities and organizations on campus.

All students should complete an on-campus residence hall contract by August 1, 2008 for fall semester 2008. If you are unable to make this deadline, we cannot guarantee you will have a room on campus and may have to make accommodations off-campus.

As a new international student applicant, your residence hall room will be reserved for you if the housing office receives the housing form and deposit check by the deadline. If your application for housing arrives after the deadline and there are still rooms available you will be able to get a room on-campus.

EARLY ARRIVALS

Students who have completed the housing contract and who are planning to live on campus for the semester, are granted 'temporary' housing prior to the first day of classes, but there is a fee for this.

  • There is an estimated $115 per week charge for students moving in before August 23. The earliest move-in date is August 16th.

Students intending to live off-campus will not have access to 'temporary' housing on-campus. Off-campus students should be prepared to live in a motel while they search for an apartment.

We unfortunately do not have temporary housing for family or friends who may accompany you to school. Local hotels and motels are available.
