Additional Housing Information
MyHousing is a new program were students will have a fully online Housing selection experience. By navigating a 4-step process students will (1) read and electronically sign their housing contracts, (2) pay their Housing contract guarantee (as needed), (3) request specific rooms, roommates, buildings and living learning environments and (4) choose the desired meal plan to complete their fully customized experience. Students will have full control for selecting specific rooms and roommates or having MyHousing randomly assign based on student provided preferences.
Students will access MyHousing through Ferris360. Ferris State students will be contacted to let them know when it is time to begin the MyHousing process. Students are encouraged to keep an eye on their Ferris State e-mail, Ferris360 account and the Housing & Residence Life web page www.ferris.edu/housing/ for further details. With this fully online experience students will no longer receive or utilize paper contracts.
