Step 1: Apply for Admission
Only admitted students may apply for housing.
Step 2: Confirm Enrollment
Enrollment Confirmation is the process that confirms a student's intent to enroll at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Confirming enrollment does not commit a student to attending. Students who plan to live on campus must confirm enrollment before they are allowed to apply for housing.
Step 3: Housing Application

Step 4: Housing Contract
Housing Contracts are signed within the Housing & Dining Portal. Housing Contracts are in effect for one academic year. Once signed, the contract is legal and binding and cannot be broken (except in very specific circumstances). The terms and conditions should be understood prior to signing.
Step 5: Prepayment
A $250 prepayment is required to complete a student's reservation. Unlike a deposit, a student's prepayment is applied to the student's first semester room charges. We accept credit/debit, check, or cash. A reduced prepayment may be available if you qualify.
