Reminder About Fall 2012 Changes

Before the spring semester ends, we want to remind residents about two changes in residential buildings, beginning in 2012.

Electronic Access
Residents will swipe their Redbird ID card to gain access to all residential buildings 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Prior to fall 2012, doors were locked during overnight hours only. Students are reminded that they will need to carry their university ID with them at all times. University staff, in conjunction with student leaders, has worked on this initiative for nearly two years. Additional details about electronic access will be available on the Housing website over the summer.

Phone Lines
Student rooms will still be wired for land line phones, but service is not automatically provided. For an additional charge, students may choose to activate their line. Additional details about activating a phone line will be available on the Housing website over the summer.

Submitting your 2012-2013 Housing Contract

New Students

The Housing and Dining channels on Welcome2ISU.IllinoisState.edu are open. Students admitted to the University for fall 2012 can complete their Housing application-contract and Dining contract via these channels. The system will be available from 8:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. every day, starting February 27.

Welcome2ISU is where students will submit their contract and initial payment; students select their room over the summer. Learn more about when and how you select or are assigned to your room on the Submitting Your Contract page.

Please be patient in the opening hours and days of the system, as many students are trying to access the channels.

Returning Students

The Contract Renewal system closed on March 2. Contact Housing with any questions.

Important: On-Campus Housing for Fall 2012

Beginning with the Fall 2012 term, on-campus housing will only be guaranteed for freshmen and sophomore students who fall under the University On-Campus Housing Policy and are required to live on-campus. Due to the limited number of on-campus housing spaces available, all other students should secure off-campus housing.
