NEW STUDENT HOUSING
Picture of dorm at Shorter

After you have been admitted to the college, the following steps must be taken to ensure on-campus housing:

  1. Pay $275 enrollment deposit and $200 damage deposit and mail to the Shorter College Office of Admissions
  2. Fill out housing questionnaire and mail to:

    Office of Admissions
    315 Shorter Avenue, Campus Box 32
    Rome, GA 30165

While there is no specific deadline to request housing, it is a good idea to get the questionnaire and deposit mailed back as soon as possible. An assignment is not made until both the form and deposit have been received.

Priority is given to those students who pay a deposit prior to April for the fall semester.
The first batch of assignments will be made by the end of May.

Those attending the first Summit session will receive an assignment letter with their Summit packet. All others (that were received before the end of May) will be mailed at the end of May.

Keep in mind that all returning students receive priority housing. With rising enrollment in past years, there has been an increased demand for residence hall rooms and space is limited; therefore, get your information in early.

Welcome Week and Move-In Fall 2009

Welcome Week for new students will begin with check-in on Saturday, August 15th between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.  Returning students may check in on Saturday, August 22nd between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.  (Since classes start on Wednesday, there will not be staff on duty for check-in during the day.) 

You will need to follow the signs on campus and check in with the Residence Life Staff before going to your room.
