Living in campus housing offers an unparalleled experience to be part of a vibrant and diverse community, where every day brings new opportunities to connect, grow, and have fun! We look forward to helping you feel at home here at Pacific University.
How to Complete your Housing Application
The Academic Year 26-27 Housing Application opens for new students on February 20, 2026! Housing applications are due by June 11, 2026, though we recommend that you sign up as soon as you are able.
Shortly after you have deposited and set up your PUNet ID and login, you can log into eRezlife to complete your housing application, indicate roommate preferences and submit your housing contract. Review a step-by-step guide for how students can apply for housing and make roommate groups.
Application steps:
- By June 11: Submit your housing application and contract via eRezlife
- By June 19: If you want to match yourself with a roommate, set up your RoomeeZ profile and search for a roommate. Alternatively, if you already know another new student you'd like to live with, you can exchange emails and match with them directly.
First and second year students typically live in Cascade Hall, McCormick Hall, or Walter Hall (first year only). Third and fourth year students, as well as Graduate & Professional students, typically live in Burlingham Hall, Gilbert Hall, and Vandervelden Court.
Current students can participate in the Pick Your Place room selection process by submitting an application before the deadline in March.
Housing & Dining Contract
Before a student submits their housing application, they will be required to agree to the terms and conditions of the housing and dining contract. After submitting the application, they will be sent a link to the contract via their Pacific email. We encourage students and families to read this agreement to understand the various terms and conditions of living in college-provided housing.
Accommodations for Student with Disabilities
The Office of Accessibility & Accommodation (OAA) provides reasonable accommodations in campus housing to students with disabilities.
Students with new housing accommodation requests should register with OAA and submit disability documentation to the OAA office. Information about how to register and submit documentation can be found here.
Roommate and Room Assignment Information
In late June and early July, Campus Living will review all incoming student housing applications, make room assignments and match roommates. As this is a significant task, this will take several weeks to complete. Students can expect to receive their room assignment and roommate(s) information in mid-July.

Canceling a Submitted Housing Contract
Before the June 11 application deadline, new students* are able to withdraw a housing application after submitting one in the eRezlife system by clicking "Housing overview" on the left, then selecting "withdraw application" for the appropriate application.
After June 11, new students who request to cancel their housing contract are subject to the terms of the contract. All contract cancelations must be in writing, from the student, and delivered to campusliving@pacificu.edu.
Students must meet eligibility requirements to live off campus before a cancelation request can be processed.
Fall term applicants: Cancelation fees for students who have room reservations for Fall and cancel them prior to taking occupancy:
- Before May 31, 2026: $200
- June 1 - June 30, 2026: $400
- July 1 - July 31, 2026: $600
- August 1 – start of the housing term: $800
New Winter and Spring term applicants will have until December 4, 2026 to cancel their contract without a cancelation fee. After this date, they will receive a $500 cancelation fee to cancel their contract pre-occupancy.
Fee exceptions: Students who cancel their housing due to no longer being enrolled (i.e. withdrawing, graduating, being called to active military duty) will not receive a cancelation fee as long as they provide relevant information when canceling their contract.
*Note: Students who received housing assignments in spring through the room selection process, or were provided an assignment by Campus Living after submitting a housing application, are not able to withdraw their applications after having a room reservation. Any cancelations will result in fees detailed under the "Fall term applicants" section.
