Explore housing options in Towson.

For students starting at TU in the Spring, on-campus housing is limited. You can explore our nearby off-campus housing options or remain in your current housing situation and commute to TU.

Spring students may also view information about requesting housing on TU's main campus, but note that securing on-campus housing is unlikely. If you are offered on-campus housing, you must sign a housing contract and submit a $350 non-refundable advance payment to secure your spot. Contact the Department of Housing and Residence Life at 410-704-2516 with questions.

Students starting at TU in the Fall are guaranteed on-campus housing provided you submit your Enrollment Contract and nonrefundable deposit by May 1. The Housing process for Fall will become available in March, at which point you will be notified and receive instructions on how to complete a Housing Application.

The TU Financial Aid Office will start sending aid grant and loan aid notifications to students in April. Please check your TU Admissions Portal enrollment checklist for the status of your FAFSA submission.

If you have questions or have already filed a FAFSA but did not receive your award notification, contact Financial Aid at 410-704-4236.
