Housing
Change-of-Campus students have their choice of whether to live on or off campus. You should explore both options before making a decision on what might be best for you. The process to obtain on-campus housing normally begins in late November or early December and is concluded by early February. Students can secure on-campus housing before knowing whether they have been approved for a Change-of-Campus. However, the only way to get out of the legally binding on-campus housing contract is to not attend the campus for which you have a contract. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the terms of the contract.
Off-campus housing can be secured as early as the prior October or as late as the same month that a person arrives in State College. Please make sure that you have been approved for a Change-of-Campus before signing a lease. You will be responsible for the terms of the lease whether you attend University Park or not.
