Housing Application

4 Steps to Living on Campus

Step 1: Complete the housing Application 

Complete the housing application in the Housing Portal. 

All Students residing in the Sarasota-Manatee Residence Hall will be required to purchase a meal plan. More information on meal plan options can be found here and on the USF Dining Website.

Step 2: Submit the Application Fee

Submit your $50 application fee.

This fee will be billed to your OASIS student account one business day after you complete the housing application. Please note, your admission deposit does not pay the $50 housing application fee. You will need to make a separate payment for the housing application fee. Learn how to make a housing payment in OASIS.

Step 3: Complete your Orientation Reservation 

New USF students will need to reserve and pay for an orientation session. Click here to register for an orientation session. 

Step 4: You are ready to be assigned!

Assignments for Fall 2024 will begin in the spring. Students will be contacted by a member of the USF Sarasota-Manatee Housing team with more information about their room assignment. Check your USF email regularly for updates.
