Move-in dates are still being determined.

Room assignment and roommate notification for the fall semester will be emailed in July. Notification for the spring semester will be emailed in January.

Residence life works directly with the Campus Accessibility Center to determine eligibility for appropriate housing accommodations. Please email your request, as soon as possible, to cac@snhu.edu. By requesting accommodations, you give permission for the Campus Accessibility Center to discuss your request (not disability information) with the Office of Residence life.

We expect that all students apply for housing via MyHousing. Once students have fully applied and completed their “My Information” section, their status will be moved to applied status. This will open up the opportunity to request a roommate. If you have a student in mind with whom you would prefer to live, you can search for them. In order for students to be roommates, they MUST be a matched pair in MyHousing.

After a student has paid their housing deposit they are put into the housing database. In late June we assign all of the students who have paid their deposit by the May 1st deadline. We then make assignments based on mutual roommate choices, roommate preferences, hall and area requests and availability of these requests.

This date has not been determined yet.

All students are required to have a meal plan. All dining plans are non-refundable. First Year and incoming transfer students are required to have either a gold or platinum plan for their first semester. After the first semester living on campus, all students can select from any of our dining plans. For more information, please visit Dining Services or call 603.645.9710 for assistance.

The meal plan is a declining balance plan which is part of the student identification card. This works similar to a debit card. 

Returning students can raise or lower their meal plan during the first two weeks of a semester. After this time frame, students may only raise their meal plans. Students who are new to SNHU and in their first semester of living on campus can select between the gold or platinum plan. Then, beginning their second semester on campus, they’ll have the choice of any dining plan.

All residence halls are co-ed by room with the exception of one floor in Washington, which is all female. Co-ed floors have separate bathrooms for men and women. Our apartment and suite-style living areas (Windsor and Hampton) are co-ed within the housing unit.

Students should not expect to move in any earlier than the published check-in time.

Availability of rooms determines if room changes may be completed. September entry has the most housing assignments which can mean limited flexibility. Students may request a change, in writing, prior to arrival, but should not assume it will be completed.

There is a mixture of carpeted and non-carpeted areas. Refer to the residence life amenities page for a description of all residential areas.

There are a few buildings on campus with air conditioning. These halls include Kingston, Tuckerman, Windsor and Hampton. In Monadnock Hall, there is air conditioning in the middle of the building near the common areas, but not in the apartments. University policy does not allow for the installation of personal air conditioner units in any residence units.

Yes, all windows have a window treatment.

Things to Bring

One of the common mistakes many students make is bringing too much for their room. Plan to bring a pillow, sheets (extra-long twin), bedspread, toiletries, laundry bags, detergent, blankets, portable shower caddie, wastebasket, alarm clock, coat hangers, desk and floor lamps, iron, blow dryer and shower shoes or flip flops.

Things Not to Bring

Community living dictates that certain items are not permissible because of safety reasons. The following are examples of such items: hot plates, pets (except fish), air conditioners, waterbeds, hot tubs, space heaters, halogen lamps, weapons of any kind, candles, immersion heaters, toaster ovens or any other cooking appliance.

The university reserves the final decision on any item that they determine as inappropriate for the residence halls. The university does not permit any devices that raise the bed from floor level. Bed lofting is not permitted based on construction limitations and fire safety issues.

Microwaves are not permitted in the residences. If you are interested in renting a microfridge, you may contact New England Student Services at www.nestudentservices.com or by telephone at 401.405.0920. Our registration code for the site is 9481.

During the academic year all rooms are assigned which precludes the showing of a room. However, if the admission office has a showroom that is available, that room can be viewed. Contact the admission office at 603.645.9611 to arrange for a tour. Approximate room dimensions are available on our website on the Amenities page.

Students are allowed to have vehicles on campus. Parking decals must be obtained from Public Safety.

Students can purchase property insurance coverage through National Student Services. Students can apply for coverage or renew and modify existing coverage, as well as obtain information that they will need regarding these programs.

All university furniture must remain in the location in addition to any furniture brought in. Students are financially responsible for university furniture that is missing or damaged.

A suite is a grouping of double and single rooms in a residence hall that has a common lounge and separate bathrooms.

Refer to the university calendar. All residences are closed during break. Resident students will be notified via flyers and electronically about closing information.

Refrigerators should be no larger than 3.5 cubic feet.

The live-in staff, Resident Assistants, and Residence Directors are there to help you get through this. You should contact your residence director if you are having concerns or conflicts with your roommate to help you resolve the situation. If this mediation does not work, your residence director will work with you on a room change.

Cooking facilities are provided in the apartments. There are no cooking facilities in the residence halls. Students are not allowed to have a microwave but students can contact New England Student Services by telephone at 401.405.0920 to rent a refrigerator/microwave for their room. Our registration code for the site is 9481.
