Returning Student Application Process
The beds in the Alice Holloway Young Commons are offered based on the date and time you apply and pay the application fee for housing, therefore it is important to review the process and apply on the recommended dates.
Please read carefully as we will be following our published deadlines!
IMPORTANT NOTE: We will ONLY be communicating dates and deadlines to you through your MCC student email. It is your responsibility to check your email. The application is only available online through your student account.
Application Process
Returning Students Application Process for 2023-2024 Housing
Returning residence hall students are guaranteed housing if they follow the following process, meeting all deadlines:
- January 2023: Apply for Financial Aid. It is best to file your FAFSA at the same time that you and your parents complete household tax returns. (They are linked.)
- February 25, 2023: The housing application process begins for all students who are currently in housing. Between February 25 and March 25, 2022, you will be able to apply for housing, pay your $200 application fee, select roommates and select your room for next year. For "how to" videos, please scroll to the top of the page.
- June 1, 2023: Deadline for returning students in guaranteed housing to notify the Housing and Residence Life Office that they will not be returning in Fall 2022. Notification must be in writing to Housing & Residence Life. After this date, students canceling housing forfeit their $200.00 deposit.
- August 1, 2023: Deadline for all returning students to be registered for 12 or more credits and have all health information turned in. If you have outstanding information on this date, you will forfeit your bed and your $200 housing application fee. All notifications regarding what is due will be sent to your MCC email account.
- August 2023: Move in day for returning students will be 23, 24 and 25, 2023 from approximately 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
You are not permitted to move in prior to this date. Please monitor your MCC student email all summer for additional information.
Students under 18
Students who are under the age of 18 may not agree to the terms and conditions of housing on their own without a parent/guardian signature. Students who are under 18 will be directed via their confirmation page and via a confirmation email to have a parent/guardian fill out a form and send it in separately from the online housing application.
Underage students have 7 business days to mail/fax/email the form to the Housing and Residence Life Office. An underage application will not be completed and date/time stamped until this form is received. If it is received within those 7 days, the application will be date/time stamped for the time the application was submitted. Excessively late forms (more than 10 business days) will push the date/time stamp to the time the form is received.
