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@towson.edu.
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 OptionsDue to the significant demand for University Housing and our limited occupancy capacity, the housing application process is currently only open to incoming freshmen students. However, if students are interested in University Housing for next academic year, they need to visit the Living@TU Portal and click on and complete the “Housing Waitlist Form” to add yourself to the waitlist. Submitting a Housing Waitlist Form does not guarantee your housing. Waitlist communication will not begin until May 30, 2025.
The Spring 2026 Waitlist Form opens in November 2025 and Waitlist updates and notiications will begin on prior to the last week of December 2025.
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.
Students with medical housing needs must request accommodations through the Office of Accessibility and Disability Services. Medical accommodations can only be requested after a student completes the housing application process.
