Housing Reservations

The first step to becoming a student is to fill out an Application for Admission (applications are accepted throughout the year). Follow the Apply Now link on the left to submit our online Application for Admission form.

SMC Student Housing Bedroom

Want to live on-campus? Students will have a choice beginning in the fall of 2009 to live on-campus with the completion of SMC’s residential housing.

If you would like to apply for on-campus housing, please follow the link on the right to the Housing Application.

Please submit your completed application along with a $25.00 non-refundable fee to secure your housing reservations. Should housing be at capacity at the time this application is received, the $25.00 fee will be returned.

To finalize your reservation, you must complete the SMC Student Housing Contract and pay the designated security deposit. A Student Housing Packet will be mailed to you upon receipt of your completed application and $25.00 fee. The packet will include important deadlines and all other necessary information. Your contract and security deposit must be turned in no later than July 1, 2009, or your application fee will be forfeited and you will lose your housing reservation.

Roommate and Assignment Preferences

Roommate requests are not required. If you have a roommate request, SMC will make every effort to match it. You can request up to three roommates. Requests are not guaranteed. Roommate requests must be mutual. To ensure the best chance of receiving your preferred roommate(s), your unit preferences should match exactly. Applications must be turned in at the same time. Roommate requests are accepted only if they are of the same gender.

Housing Unit Size Preferences

Units will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests are not guaranteed. There are four-bedroom suites with two bathrooms and a limited number of two-bedroom suites with one bathroom.
