First-Time College Students

Living on campus is the best way to experience everything that MassArt has to offer. Be sure to submit your complete housing application and all deposits by May 1st, and we’ll be sure to guarantee you a space in on-campus housing. So long as you stay in housing for your entire first year and complete the reapplication process on time, we’ll guarantee housing for a second year too.

  • All applications and deposits are viewable in the Admissions application portal
  • Starting in mid-April, we’ll be notifying incoming students that we’re holding an on-campus space for them.
  • In mid-June, we’ll send out specific room assignments and license agreement forms.
  • In order to be considered for on-campus housing, students must be full-time enrolled.

On-campus housing is highly sought after by students coming to MassArt. While we’ll do our best to house all transfer students who want to be in on-campus housing, we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to get you in. Be sure to submit all applications and deposits by our May 1st priority deadline so you get full consideration.

  • In late-May, we’ll notify transfer students if we’ve been able to secure a place in on-campus housing for them or if we’ll need to place them on a waitlist.
  • In mid-June, we’ll send out specific room assignments and license agreement forms for those who we’ve been able to place in on-campus housing. Waitlisted students will be contacted only when space becomes available.
  • For Spring admits, we’ll notify you of assignments on an ongoing basis as space becomes available.
  • In order to be considered for on-campus housing, students must be full-time enrolled.

Knowing your roommate before you move-in can be a real comfort to some. For those that know who they want to live with, we make it easy for you to select your roommate. Once you (and your roommate) have submitted your application and deposits, you can pick each other in our housing portal. Be sure to complete it before May 15th, or we’ll make a roommate match for you!

Student Accessibility Services works closely with the Office of Housing and Residence Life to provide housing accommodations to qualified students with disabilities.
