Entering Freshman and Transfer Students:

There are two basic steps to apply for a residence hall room or apartment.

Step 1: Gain admittance to NMSU. You will need an NMSU username and password to access the Housing Department’s Apply Online system. It is a good idea to apply for housing as soon as you are admitted to the university.

Step 2: Explore this website to review your housing options. You will want to look at residence hall/apartment options, as well as Living Learning Communities, meal plans and rates. After have you determined which housing preferences you would like, log-on to Apply Online with your username and password. After all selections have been made and submitted, you will receive confirmation via your NMSU email.

Note: Participating in a Living Learning Community is free of charge and provides important advantages such as academic and social support, as well as a greater sense of community. Joining an LLC is a great way to jumpstart your college experience. Be sure to indicate on your application if you wish to be assigned to an LLC.
