Please completely fill out the form below.
Select the term(s) for which you are applying for residence
* Only available in male residence halls. ** Food service not available.
All rooms are equipped with a bed, desk, desk chair, wardrobe or closet and computer port for each occupant. Price also includes the cost of internet service, basic cable, and laundry facilities. Students have a choice of either using their cell phone or the college phone system for phone contact purposes in their dorm room. If a student chooses to use the college phone system then voice mail is provided at no charge.
There are a variety of housing accommodations available on campus. In addition to the apartment style residence hall we also have single, double, and triple occupancy rooms. A small number of double rooms have a private bathroom. Current HCC students will select their rooms for the upcoming school year in mid April. In late May Residence Life staff will begin to carefully hand-match new incoming students with their roommates / room requests, based on the selections made on the Housing Preference/ Roommate Survey Form. While sorting through hundreds of contracts and matching individuals by hand is a time-consuming process, there are no guarantees that conflicts will not arise. Please keep in mind that living with people from other cultures and backgrounds is also an integral part of the college experience.
Housing applications will be considered on a 'space-available' basis. As a general rule the sooner you apply and submit all the necessary paperwork the better your chances of getting your preferred housing. All resident students will be able to view their room assignment through the HC Portal (Look inside the "Popular Pages" window at the top of this and every website page. Sign into the portal using the username and password that are assigned from Admissions upon successfully being admitted to the college). The housing roster in the HC-Portal will be updated periodically.
You will NOT have immediate notification of where you will be living as soon as you have completed the Residence Life Contract, Housing Preference/Roommate Survey, and sent in your $200 Housing Deposit. Confirmation of your housing deposit may take up to 5-7 business days.
In order to ensure that we best understand our future residents, it is asked that neither parents nor any other proxy answer the following roommate preference questions.

Social Environment: Each roommate has a primary right to the room to which he/she is assigned. With the permission of one’s roommate, guests may be invited into the room.
Neither smoking nor alcohol is permitted in any Holy Cross Residence Hall. However, as smoking and alcohol consumption manifest themselves in individual behavior, they may impact on roommates.
