Dedicated to Our Residents
We strive to create a community that provides a student-centered learning environment
that supports our expectation of academic achievement and personal development.
Housing Contract: The priority deadline was April 1, extended until May 1, for the best chance of getting your preferred assignment. Applications are still accepted after that deadline, and staff will do their best to still accommodate preferences.
Housing Accommodations: Submit your housing accommodation requests, such as a medical need for a single or emotional support animal, as early as possible. After the first round of Housing Assignments go out in June, space accommodations cannot be guaranteed. More on housing accommodations.

Housing Accommodations: If there are accommodation requests, such as a medical need for a single or emotional support animal, students should also try to renew or confirm their accommodations as soon as possible.

Housing Assignments: Returner Room Self-Selection took place March 27-31. Students will be assigned on a rolling basis.
Residency Requirement
Living on campus gives added value to the college experience. National research shows that students who live on campus do better academically, are more engaged and have a smoother transition. Because of that, Webster has a two-year residency requirement. Even if a student is not required to live on campus, we encourage them to do so — and many do!
All freshmen enrolled at the St. Louis main campus are required to live on campus for their first two years at the University. Exceptions to this requirement are granted for freshmen living with their parents within a 35-mile radius of the main campus in Webster Groves.
Undergraduate international transfer students are required to live on campus for their first year enrolled in classes at the main campus.
Additionally, all Study Abroad students (undergraduate and graduate) who study abroad at any of the St. Louis Metro campuses are required to reside in on-campus housing for the duration of their Study Abroad experience. All site transfer students are required to reside on campus for their first year enrolled at the Webster Groves campus.

There are lots of ways to get involved outside the classroom!
Check out our Student Life page and find out what’s going on in and around campus. Join a club; attend an event; see a film; play a sport or show up for a game; meet fellow students with similar interests.
Getting involved on campus can help forge lifelong friendships, create unique experiences and even help build a strong resume. And every Webster campus is a unique reflection of the local community and culture.
