Students at Move in Day

To apply for housing, all new students and students not currently residing on campus (commuter students) must submit an online housing acceptance deposit of $150 and complete an online application on the GoStockton Portal.

The University offers several meal plans that provide students with meals. Students should review the Residence Contract and Dining Services Agreement for specific meal plan requirements and types. Students may also visit http://www.dineoncampus.com/su for more information. After two weeks from the start of classes no changes can be made to your meal plan. Students residing in housing must visit the "Student Life" Tab in the Go Portal and complete the "Meal Plan Change Form" on the "Residential Life" portal to request a meal plan change. A request can only be processed if it meets the meal plan requirement* for your residential area.

Visit the Plant Management website. The Stockton University Plant Management Office uses a robust system called SchoolDude to manage all work orders.

Our office always recommends that students advocate for any room change requests. A good start is to meet with their RA first in order to go over their individual situation and receive advice on the next steps. Next, schedule an appointment to speak with your Graduate Coordinator to discuss your request. Be sure to review the housing fees before making a move request. Housing fees vary by location. Location preferences are strongly considered but cannot be guaranteed since they are based on availability. There is a strict room change freeze during the first two weeks and the last two weeks of each semester. The room change freeze helps the Office of Residential Life process assignments for new students.

I am having trouble in my room with my roommate(s), how can I get advice? Seek out your RA. Depending on the situation, the RA will either advise you on how to talk to your roommate(s) or provide additional on campus resources. You may speak with your Graduate Coordinator, who is a live-in professional available to respond to incidents and assist you with difficult residential situations.

Check out the Guide to Residential Life to learn more about the residential renewal process, including the mandatory renewal information session dates.

Students can cancel their housing by logging in to the GoStockton Portal, clicking the Student Life link, and scrolling down to the Contract Cancellation link to cancel their housing.
