First-year and transfer students should apply for housing once they have been admitted
to the College and submitted a $500 deposit to Admissions ($200 damage deposit / $300
enrollment deposit). All housing applications are due by June 15.
Where are students housed?
Students live in six residence halls on campus: Alumnae, Aquino, Spellman, Mastronardi,
Seton, and Marillac. First-year students are assigned to rooms in Spellman Hall.
When will I find out my housing assignment?
First-year and transfer students who complete a housing application by the June 15
deadline will be assigned first. Late applicants will be assigned throughout the
summer. All residents will receive notification via their CMSV email by early August.
When can I move into my residence hall room?
Move-in for first-year and transfer students usually occurs on the Thursday prior to
the first day of classes. Returning residents move in on the Sunday prior to the first
day of classes.
Can I bring my car to campus?
Due to limited parking, first-year resident students are not permitted to have cars on
campus. Upperclass students may apply for paid parking spaces on a first-come,
first-served basis. Details are provided by the Office of Campus Safety and Security and
are available on the Campus Safety and Security page.
May I have overnight guests?
First-year students are not permitted overnight guests during their first semester.
The College offers programs during the first weeks to support student adjustment.
Please consult the Student Handbook for the full guest policy.
Where can I do laundry?
Laundry facilities are located on the first floor or basement level of each residence
hall. Laundry services are free of charge and include an online availability tracking
system accessible at laundryview.com . Damaged machines should be reported to the Office of Housing and Residence Life at (718) 405-3226.
If I live on campus, am I required to have a meal plan?
Yes. All residential students are required to participate in the mandatory College meal
plan, which operates on a declining balance.
Can I stay in my room during Winter and Spring Break?
Yes. Students must receive prior approval and pay a per diem fee to remain in residence
halls during breaks. Official guidelines are distributed via university email prior to
each break.
Can I purchase my books from the campus bookstore?
The Campus Store sells classroom and personal items but does not sell textbooks.
Textbooks may be purchased from Akademos , the University’s online bookstore.
What do I do if I lose my student ID or my keys?
Lost student IDs require a $25 replacement fee paid at the Office of Student Accounts
(Founders Hall 223), followed by pickup at the Office of Student Affairs (Founders Hall
114). Lost keys must be reported to the Office of Housing and Residence Life (Founders
Hall 112). The key replacement fee is $125.
