Welcome to the JCSU Community!

What are the steps?
Housing is generally assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If a freshman's application is received and their deposit is paid before July 1st, housing is typically available.
The University reserves the right to assign or reassign spaces to best support the needs of individual students and/or the living units. Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) has partnered with StarRez, which is a housing software that supports multiple functions including reporting, room selection, and other key deliverables for residents.
