The Office of Housing Operations and Residence Life provide a variety of living options. There are traditional residence halls and apartments that enhance a community environment.
The Office of Housing Operations and Residence Life operate and maintain ten residence halls and over 500 apartments. To be eligible to live in university housing a student must be admitted to Jacksonville State University in good standing and enrolled as a student. The student will be required to satisfy these eligibility standards throughout the academic year and to inform the Office of Housing Operations and Residence Life of any changes in their status that may affect their eligibility. Students seeking housing during the summer are not required to be enrolled for the summer semester if they are in good standing and preregistered for the fall semester.
Students must apply online at www.jsu.edu/housing/applynow/index.html using their MyJaxState username and password. A nonrefundable application fee of $200 is required at the time of submission. The preference deadline for applications is April 1. Room assignments are made based on the date on which applications are received; therefore, space may become limited before the April 1 preference deadline.
If students have a roommate request, they must indicate their request on the housing application/lease agreement. Roommate requests must be mutually requested and must include the correct student number of each roommate. Both roommate applications/lease agreements must be submitted by April 1 for the request to be considered. Both roommates must also select the same living options in the same order of preference (if applicable). Lease rates are subject to change pending approval from the Board of Trustees of Jacksonville State University. The lease agreement is a legally binding document for the full academic year. Students are financially responsible for all room charges for the fall and spring semesters. Residents of The Edge are responsible for a 12 month lease agreement which includes room charges for fall, spring, and summer semesters.
An assigned space must be claimed by the end of the last day of move in or the space will be reassigned.
Students seeking to cancel their lease agreement should visit www.jsu.edu/housing/applynow/cancel.html for more information regarding deadlines and monetary penalties.
First-year students are required to live on campus. A full list of exemptions can be found online at www.jsu.edu/housing/applynow/exemption.html.1
