spring application
Applying for housing at Texas A&M University is done by logging into myHousing Portal using your NetID and password. Don’t have a NetID and password? Visit the Howdy Portal and select Activate Your Account. The Housing Application usually opens in mid-September.
Please refer to our Before You Apply page for helpful information before starting your online housing application, then follow the steps below.

Residence Halls & White Creek Apartments Steps
To begin, log into myHousing Portal using your NetID and password, click on Housing Applications, and select the Spring Only term.
You will sign the contract, provide your housing preferences, and fill out a lifestyle questionnaire. We encourage you to take a look at all we have to offer.
Residence Life offers six different types or styles of residence hall living: ramp-style, balcony-style, corridor-style, commons-style, modular-style, and Hullabaloo Hall. These living styles feature many of the same amenities, but each differs in concept. Not only will we ask you for your hall preference, but also your room type.
We also offer an extraordinary apartment community at the heart of the Aggie experience. Our fully-furnished White Creek Apartments community is on west campus near the Agriculture and Life Sciences Buildings and White Creek. When choosing White Creek Apartments, we will ask you to provide your floor plan preferences.
The Housing Assignments Office does room assignments on a first-come, first-serve basis. Therefore, you will be assigned in the order in which your application was completed. Please know that your preference does not guarantee your desired housing style will be available at the time you are issued a housing assignment. However, we will do our best to match your preferences throughout our process. You will receive your assignment via email before the Spring semester starts, typically the first week of January.
What does it mean to live on campus? Well, it’s a lot more than having a place to sleep. It’s your home while you’re here. The place where you hang out with friends, talk to your roommates, study, kick back, relax, store your stuff, sleep and eat. It’s your own space.
On-campus living has a lot of built-in resources and staff to support you during your time at Texas A&M. We are a dynamic community with our own standards and rules.
For that reason, we ask all students living in our on-campus communities to complete the Annual Housing Orientation, which will appear as a menu item in myHousing Portal after you have confirmed your room reservation.
You will need to have completed this orientation in order to receive your key upon check-in. Check your Texas A&M email in late December to early January for specific instructions.
Corps Housing Steps
On-campus housing has something to offer everyone. To begin, log into myHousing Portal using your NetID and password, click on Housing Application, follow the step-by-step on-screen instructions, and select Yes to Corps of Cadets when prompted.
All cadets (except for those identified by the Commandant) are required to live on campus in Corps Housing while an active member of the Corps of Cadets. Only the Commandant can approve additional exceptions such as outfits V-1 & Delta Company (and only under special circumstances such as married cadets and previous military service cadets.).
Any changes to your assignment will be coordinated between the Corps Area Housing Office and the Corps Operations & Training office. Due to the changing nature of units and outfits, housing assignments are subject to change.
Room assignments are based on:
- Gender Integrity – Cadets share a room only with another cadet of the same gender.
- Unit, Staff and Class Integrity – A cadet shares a room with a cadet in the same unit and class. Crowded conditions or special circumstances may dictate that cadets of different years and units can room together.
On-campus living has a lot of built-in resources and staff to support you during your time at Texas A&M. We are a dynamic community with our own standards and rules.
For that reason, we ask all students living in our on-campus communities to complete the Annual Housing Orientation. To do this, after you are assigned a room, the Annual Housing Orientation menu item will appear in myHousing Portal.
You will need to have completed this orientation in order to receive your key upon check-in. Check your Texas A&M email over the summer for specific instructions.
We are very excited to welcome you to Residence Life and the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University!
To help make your transition to college life as smooth as possible, move-in information will be posted on our website throughout the summer. Don’t forget to check your Texas A&M email frequently so you don’t miss important emails – such as more detailed instructions for move-in based on your Corps Unit and the Sophomore Orientation Week (SOW) experience.
Information about early move-in, early-arrival requests, what to bring, what not to bring and important dates for Corps of Cadets can be found on our Move-In Information page. Of course, you can always contact the Corps Area Housing Office if you have additional questions or concerns before you arrive. We will see you in Aggieland!
