Academic Year
Academic year applications are for a continuous Fall and Spring housing assignment. Applications are completed in the Clemson Home portal and are automatically filtered for you based on your application eligibility.
During winter break, only apartment communities remain open. If you anticipate needing housing during winter break, you must select an apartment option.
Below are the main application types, along with more details on application timelines and other important information.
