Information for students transferring from another institution to Towson University.
We are excited you have chosen Towson University.
This page helps you navigate the incoming student housing process. If you have any questions after reviewing the information, email us at housing AT_TOWSON.
On-campus housing for transfer students is very limited so we strongly encourage you to explore alternative and off-campus housing options.
We strongly encourage transfer students to explore alternate housing options while maintaining their place on our Spring 2025 or Fall 2025 Housing Request Waitlist (information regarding both semesters can be found later on this webpage).
You can also view off-campus housing options on the Towson University Off-Campus Housing search.
Off-Campus Student Housing OptionsThe housing process is closed for Fall as we are at capacity.
The Spring Housing Request form will open on November 8, 2024 at 9:00am EST. Spring housing is on a first come, first serve basis based on the amount of availability we will have. If you are on the Fall waitlist and you are interested in Spring housing, you will need to complete a Spring Housing Request form via the Student Housing Gateway when the process opens.
Receiving a Housing Offer as Space Becomes Available: As spaces become available, students are offered housing via their Towson University email address with instructions on how to complete the housing offer process. Students must accept the housing offer by completing the Housing Contract and submitting a $350 non-refundable Housing Advance Payment by the offer due date, typically 4-5 days of receiving the offer or the offer will expire and the student will be removed from the waitlist.
As previously mentioned, on-campus housing for transfer students is very limited so we strongly encourage you to explore alternative and off-campus housing options. The Fall 2025 Housing Request Form will go live in March 2025. The specific launch date will be announced on this webpage.
All housing assignments are made based on legal sex unless the student requests Gender Inclusive Housing. Gender-inclusive housing can be requested during the application process.
*Harris Hall and Tubman Houses and Millennium Hall are not operated by the university. Any monies paid to Capstone Properties cannot be transferred to the university.
