On-campus housing for 2007-2008

It's already that time of year for your son/daughter to begin thinking about their housing options for the 2007-2008 school year. Below are three different options for them to consider.  The PLU on-campus living experience isn't just about a place to sleep, for PLU students it's also their home.  It is a great place to live, learn, lead and make friendships that will last a lifetime.

South Hall (Apartment-Style Housing Option)
South Hall is our only non-traditional, apartment-style residence hall option available to our students. Students must be at least 20 years old or Junior standing by September 1, 2007 and have a good record with the University's Student Conduct System in order to be eligible to live in South Hall.

2007 - 2008 South Hall housing applications, housing guides, and contracts are available on January 17th at the Residential Life office (Harstad 105) and at the South Hall front desk.  To be considered using one's priority points, applications must be turned in to the Residential Life office no later than 5:00pm, Wednesday, February 21st.  Applications received after this date, will be taken in the order they are submitted to the office. Students applying for multi-bedroom apartments must each fill out a separate application and submit it by this deadline for consideration.  Current South Hall residents wishing to return to South Hall, must reapply by the same deadline.

Students are notified of their acceptance into South Hall and/or their waitlist standing, by reviewing the posting found on the Residential Life web page. Initial results will be posted by 5:00pm, Wednesday, February 28th. Results are updated on the 15th of each month through August 15th.  A PLU e-pass is required to access this information.

Traditional Style Residence Halls
Students wishing to live on-campus in one of the nine traditional-style residence halls, can do so April 11th - 13th. There are a variety of unique options available for your son/daughter to consider when applying:

More information about the application process will be available in March.  At this time, information about summer housing will also be available.

Off-Campus Resources
Residential Life has a binder of local off-campus housing options. Students are welcome to stop by the office to look at the binder. The Residential Life Office is located in Harstad 105, and is opened Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. This binder is updated regularly, as listings are submitted.
