Former UPJ Students Who Have Been Readmitted for Fall 2007

Once you have been admitted, we ask that you follow the process outlined below in order to successfully apply for on-campus housing accommodations. Should you have any questions and/or concerns during any aspect of the process, do not hesitate to contact us at your convenience by phone (814) 269-7115, or via email upjohrl@pitt.edu. Summer hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm.

Step 1:  Course Registration

  • Any student desiring to reside on campus for the upcoming academic year must first register for classes.  Students are encouraged to contact their respective academic department in order to ensure proper registration.
  • A minimum of 12 credits per term MUST be taken in order to retain one's residency status.

Step 2:  Payment of Room Deposit

  • Students interested in residing on campus must pay a $350.00 room deposit in order to participate in the application process.
  • Deposits are to be paid through the Business Office (814) 269-7040.  Payments can be made over the phone by credit card, or through the mail by check.  If sending a check, please make sure your name and Student ID# are noted on the check.

NOTE:   While there always exists the possibility of needing to triple a number of rooms, the sooner one pays one's deposit, the less likely one will be affected by the need.  However, early payment DOES NOT necessarily guarantee one will not be tripled

Step 3:  Online Procurement of Application ID number, Completion, and Submission of Application

  • EVERY student interested in residing on campus MUST complete and submit an application.
  • Only students who have paid the $350.00 room deposit will receive the appropriate online acces to complete an application.
  • Steps for completing an application:
    1. Go to http://campusservices.upj.pitt.edu.
    2. Click on "I am a Student."
    3. Enter your current username and password.
    4. Select the Housing Application option.
    5. Read and accept the Terms and Conditions of Residence.
    6. Record the Application ID number that will be issued upon acceptance of the Terms and Conditions of Residence.
    7. Complete and submit the Housing Application.

NOTE: If you have a specific roommate in mind, please indicate that person's name on your application.  In turn, your intended roommate must note your name on his/her applications.  Only mutual roommate requests will be considered. 

Once an application is submitted, it will be processed, an assignment will be made, and a letter indicating your assignment will be mailed to you in August.
