How to Register for Housing

As a part of the strategy to facilitate student success, students are required to live on campus for their first two years at Seattle Pacific. SPU strongly encourages all students to live on campus.

Students will be given a housing assignment unless they graduated from high school two or more years before the start of the current academic year, or unless their course registration is below eight credits for the quarter. Unless they request and receive a different configuration, students will be assigned to a space in a double room and allocated a meal plan at the 200 Block level. Housing and meal plan charges are included in a student’s financial statement, and student aid is awarded with these amounts in consideration.

To ensure that they have the best opportunity for housing and roommate assignments, students should complete the housing registration prior to posted deadlines. Students without a completed registration will be placed in housing during the final assignment window, right before the beginning of classes.

More information about the Residential Living Requirement can be found on the Requirement website.

You must do three things to be assigned to campus housing:

1. Accept Your Admission to SPU

If you haven’t already done so, accept your admission to SPU by submitting the $200 enrollment deposit. The $200 will be credited toward your first tuition payment.

2.Complete Your Housing Registration

This is your opportunity to provide your preferences for your housing location and give input for the roommate matching process!

If this is your first time entering the system, or if you have forgotten your username or password, go to sydotnet.net/findmyid. Access the housing portal via the student menu in the Banner Information System or go to sydotnet.net/housingapp.

3. Submit a $300 Housing Deposit

During the housing application process, you will be prompted to pay your deposit. You can pay by e-check (a no-fee service) or by credit card (with a 2.75 percent transaction fee). MasterCard, American Express, Visa, and Discover Card are accepted. SPU cannot accept credit or debit card payments over the phone or in person.

If you would prefer to pay by paper check, mail a $300 check payable to SPU, with your ID number on the memo line, to the following address:

Seattle Pacific University
Housing and Meal Plan Services
3307 Third Avenue West, Suite 312
Seattle, Washington 98119-1957

Note: Your housing deposit will not appear as a payment on your student account; it is held separately and released when you leave SPU housing, provided you have met your contract obligations and have not damaged your room.
