APPLICATION/ELIGIBILITY

1. Do I have to be a Shoreline Community College student to live on campus?
   1. All applicants must be enrolled in at least 10 credits at the time of move-in in order to be eligible to live here.
2. I receive financial aid. Can I use it to pay for part/all of my rent?
   1. Let the Leasing Office know when you receive your housing agreement and we will work with you to coordinate payment.
3. I’m an international student. Can I still live on campus?
   1. Yes! We require that all International students meet the credit requirement outlined in our Rental Criteria and will still need to process an application for each applicant. We do not discriminate based on nationality.
4. I’m under 17 years old. Can I live on campus? Does a parent need to sign the housing agreement with me?
   1. Unfortunately, students must be at least 17 years old at time of move-in to be eligible to live on campus. If that student is 16 years old at time the agreement being signed, they will be required to sign with a guarantor (parent or guardian).
5. Do I have to find my own roommates?
   1. We’ll help you find them! After you apply you will be sent a roommate survey that will help our staff determine whom to place you with.
6. Can I choose to live with people I know instead of being placed with new roommates?

7. Is it possible that I might be placed with a roommate of a different gender?
   1. Yes, it is possible. You will have the opportunity to designate on your roommate survey whether you would prefer to live with someone of the same gender or someone of the opposite gender (we call this a gender-inclusive unit) and we will do our best to accommodate your request. However, we want to encourage residents to branch out of their comfort zone and find friends throughout the building. Choose a setting that will be most comfortable and enriching for you. Please be aware that though apartments may be gender specific, each floor will be mixed gender.
