New 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!
New Student Process for 2023-2024 Academic Year
IMPORTANT NOTE: We will ONLY be communicating information to you via your MCC student email. It is YOUR responsibility to check this email and not miss established deadlines.
All dates are published ahead of time for you to plan ahead. Missed deadlines could result in loss of housing and security deposit.
The application is only available online through your student account.
- January/February 2023: Apply for Financial Aid. It is recommended that you complete your FAFSA at the same time as you complete your tax return. (They are linked.)
- February 1, 2023: Recommended date for new students to apply for admission. Students must be accepted and have access to their student accounts before they can complete a housing application.
- February 15, 2023 at 9:00am: The housing application will open for new students. To complete your housing application, please log in to your student account (mymcc.monroecc.edu) and click on the Student tab. Next please click the Campus Life tab. Within that tab is a link to the housing portal-click NEW Housing Portal. From there, you can complete the application for 2023-2024 academic year.
Please note that there is a $200 application fee required for your application to be considered for housing, which becomes your security deposit when you move in. You can pay online with a credit/debit card through the application (preferred).
If you need to complete the application with a different form of payment, please contact the Housing and Residence Life Office after your application is submitted (end your application at the payment screen). Cash/Check payments will also be accepted at the Campus Center Service Desk window (near the Bookstore), however, your application will not be "active" until this payment is made. - March 1, 2023: Placements for new students will be made first-come, first-served based solely upon your completed application date and time stamp. You will receive an email with your placement or waitlist details to your MCC student email account. You will be required to respond to your placement within 10 days.
Every Thursday following March 1, as housing becomes available, we will send out new housing placements to MCC student email accounts for individuals who are still on the waitlist. - August 1, 2023: If you have received and accepted your housing placement before this date, you are required to be registered for 12+ credits and to have submitted your proof of immunizations and proof of health insurance by this date. All financial aid/loans and/or an up-to-date payment plan are also required. Any students who do not meet these deadlines may be removed from their bed and will forfeit the $200 application fee. Notifications regarding your status will be sent to your MCC student email account ONLY.
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.

Students requesting to terminate the contractual obligation for the Spring 2024 semester must notify the Housing and Residence Life Office by December 2023. Students vacating due to graduation, internship, military enlistment, or transfer to another institution must provide supporting documentation by January 15, 2024.
Students requesting to vacate for any other purpose or who do not provide supporting documentation will also forfeit their $200 security deposit.
