Transfer Students

We’re excited to have you join our community, and we want to help you feel at home from the moment you step on campus.

Housing Information

How to apply for housing

Within one week of matriculating, the Office of Housing, Meal Plan, and ID Card Services will email you, encouraging you to apply.
If your immediate family resides in the Syracuse area and you plan to commute from home, please check the appropriate box on the online Housing and Meal Plan Application.

Meal plans

North Campus residence halls: A University meal plan is required, with flexibility based on your class standing.
South Campus apartments: No meal plan required, since each apartment has a full kitchen.

Staying up to date

Keep your syr.edu email current and check it frequently. It's the official channel for important communications regarding on-campus living.
Apply as soon as you get that email after matriculating because spaces are limited.
