The SMWC Housing Application is for new and transfer students. 

Returning students participate in the Selection Process during the spring semester to select their room for the following academic year.

Please submit only one Housing Application.

Student Affairs staff uses the Housing Application information for room and roommate assignments.  There are limited numbers of each type of room, keep in mind you may not get your first preference.

If you have any questions, contact Student Affairs at 812-535-5281 or campuslife@smwc.edu.

STEP 1: BASIC INFORMATION

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SINGLE ROOMS AND ROOM BUYOUTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

 All housing assignments are made based on the available room configurations, and students will be assigned to shared accommodations as part of the standard rooming process. While we understand that personal preferences vary, the current housing options do not include individual room selections or the ability to purchase a room to be occupied alone. Additionally, room consolidations may occur if there are vacancies or a need to balance room assignments.

Select one room type per preference. To view current Housing Rates, floor plans, and meal plan price, click here. 

It is strongly recommended that you purchase renter’s insurance or contact your insurance provider to discuss coverage options. Please note that Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged property. Renter’s insurance provides valuable protection for your personal belongings during your time on campus.

In order to be eligible for Commuter Student Status, you must live with a spouse, parent(s) or legal guardian who is living within 45 miles of SMWC, be over the age of 24, or an independent student as defined by financial aid regulations.

RESIDENTIAL MEAL PLAN

All students residing on campus are required to have the Residential Meal Plan as part of their housing agreement. This meal plan ensures that students have access to essential dining services throughout the academic year. Students should be aware that opting out of this meal plan is not permitted for on-campus residents. Please note that the balance does not roll over to the next semester and must be used within the current semester.

COMMUTER MEAL PLAN

Commuter students are automatically assigned a Commuter Student Meal Plan, which operates on a declining balance. However, commuter students have the option to opt out of the meal plan. If the meal plan is utilized or the opt-out request is not made by the deadline, the meal plan will remain assigned, and charges will apply. Please note that the balance does not roll over to the next semester and must be used within the current semester.
