It’s that time of the year! The Office of Residence Life is
gearing up for the 2013-2014 Housing Selection Process.
Current St. John’s students (residents and commuters) are all
invited to participate in housing selection. The process
allows students to select their residential community, room or
apartment, and roommates for the upcoming academic year.
Please read through the information below and pay special attention
to the deadlines and requirements for current students to
participate throughout the process. Please re-visit our
website in the spring for further updates. For questions, visit the
Office of Residence Life (Rear entrance of Donovan Hall-lower
level), email reslife@stjohns.edu, or call
(718) 990-2417.
The Housing Selection Process has three major steps that must be
completed:
Step 1: Submit $500 housing deposit to Student Financial
Services.
Pay housing deposit Monday, January 14,
2013 until Friday, February 8, 2013 by 3pm EST.
Students can make in person payments directly to the Student
Financial Services (Bent Hall), by phone, by mail, by check or
credit card online.
- To make online payments students must log into their personal
UIS account. Once logged in please select “Menu”, then
“Student Account”, and then “Housing Application for Continuing
