RETURNING STUDENTS ONLY
The Fall 2024 housing application was launched on February 15, 2024. As of April 17, 2024, we have reached our Returning Student housing capacity. Therefore, we have activated the Fall 2024 Returning Student waitlist. To access the Returning Student Waitlist Housing Application, please use the following link: https://morgan.rms-inc.com/page/housing. Please be sure to complete all required information and hit the FINISH Button to submit. With the waitlist application, you are not required to pay the $200.00 application fee at this point.        

Students will be contacted via their Morgan email account if a space becomes available. Students will remain on the housing waitlist until we are able to issue them an offer. It’s important to note that while students on the housing waitlist are not guaranteed housing, the sooner they join the waitlist, the more likely they are to receive a housing offer.

The application for New Students remains open at this time.


The fall 2024 housing application is now available. Click to apply.

The Office of Residence Life and Housing is happy to announce that the Fall 2024 housing application is now available.
To assist you in completing the housing application, please click here to view the step-by-step video and read other important information provided before accessing the application. 

Note, the Fall 2024 New Student Housing Application will close on June 1, 2024. The closing date may change as it is subject to residential capacity.

Director's Welcome

The Office of Residence Life & Housing (ORLH) at Morgan State University supports and is an integral part of the educational and social development of our students. Additionally, we provide a safe and comfortable living environment that enhances the academic success and achievements of our students.

At Morgan State University, students who are a part of the residential community are afforded a variety of opportunities for personal growth and development. We accomplish this through both structured and informal programs, and leadership opportunities throughout the academic year.

The term "residence hall" is a source of pride for those who work in The Office of Residence Life & Housing. It is based on the idea that in-class instruction is only a part of the college student's academic experience. Research has shown that 60% of a college student's time is spent outside of the classroom.

The foundation of our Residence Life program is student academic success. We provide an educational setting that integrates classroom and interpersonal development into a holistic learning experience. We also provide a living-learning environment that is conducive to the educational growth and personal development of the student.

We seek to build a community that inspires life experiences, citizenship, and personal growth. It is important to us that we realize our stake in the development of tomorrow's leaders.
Student success is our foundation!

Sincerely,
Dr. Douglas Gwynn
Director, The Office of Residence Life & Housing
