For the 2010-2011 academic year, approximately 130 specific rooms will be designated as single rooms throughout Crawford, Gage, and McElroy. Most floors will have two single rooms, and each room will have one set of furniture. Plus, 30 residents are able to sign up for a two-person semi-suite in Julia Sears. All rooms, including single rooms, are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

While the room charges are slightly higher, the renovated space is definitely worth it!
To secure your space for next year, you will need to make a $250 prepayment when you sign up. We will apply this payment to your 2010-2011 fall semester room and board charges. You can pay online with a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover). You may make your prepayment by cash, check, or money order at the Residential Life Office, 111 Carksoki Commons, in advance of choosing a room.
If your plans change after you sign up for a room next year, you may cancel your housing contract through August 18, 2010. If the contract is canceled on or before July 1, 2010, $200 of the $250 prepayment is refunded. None of the prepayment will be refunded after July 1. Cancellations will not be accepted after August 18.
All cancellations must be in writing, completed online, or sent through e-mail. Cancellation forms are also available at the Residential Life Office, 111 Carkoski Commons.
When you sign up online, you may hold the other space in your room for another current student who has not yet signed up. You will need the other student's name and TechID to enter into the application. When the other student logs in to the housing application, they will see that they have "an invitation" from you. If you do not request a specific roommate, the other space in the room you have chosen will be available to other students signing up online.
You may hold spaces for current Minnesota State Mankato students only. We will release a held space on Friday, December 11 if the student has not yet signed up.
We encourage you to sign up with a roommate or suite-mates of your choice. After the Room Selection process, Residential Life staff will assign students to rooms and suites with empty spaces.
One student may also sign up for another by proxy if necessary. The proxy must have the other student's prepayment, TechID, and a signed letter giving permission to sign the student up.
Applying for special on-campus housing accommodations based on medical need: In compliance with Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Minnesota State University, Mankato students with documented disabilities may request special housing accommodations.

The Disability Services staff will then instruct you on the documentation process and determine what accommodations you are eligible to receive. For full consideration, requests for special accommodations based on medical need must be received by:
