»Applying for First Year Housing

Submit your housing application using the Chapman Housing Portal. To access the portal, you will need your Chapman username and password (if you do not have this information, you can contact the IS&T Service Desk).

You will fill out basic information about yourself, including your living preferences to be used to assign roommate(s). Students with preferred roommate(s) can indicate this information on the application as well. Students who have special housing needs may indicate so by completing a Special Housing Accommodation Request Form and submitting the appropriate supplemental documentation.

A non-refundable $50 Housing Processing Fee and a $600 Housing Security Deposit are required to process your application. This payment is accepted on an ongoing basis and will not prevent your application from being processed.

Payments should be sent in the form of a check or money order (made out to Chapman University) to the Cashier’s Office. Please print the Housing Application Confirmation email and submit it along with your payment, or simply indicate that the payment is to be applied as the Housing Processing Fee and Housing Security Deposit. For additional payment questions you may contact the Cashier’s Office.
