Welcome To Residence Life

Living on campus can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Our Housing and Residence Life Program offers a variety of programs to meet students’ needs.  We encourage you to participate in the Residence Hall Association and become involved in all of the activities offered by Housing and Residence Life.

We are a diverse living-learning community comprised of traditional residence halls and suites. We are ready to assist you in making your experience at Jackson State University a rewarding experience.

DEDICATED TO YOU

IMPORTANT HOUSING INFORMATION

Due to an increased demand for housing, we regret to inform you that there are currently no available spaces for the Fall 2022 semester. The JSU Marketplace has closed and we are no longer accepting payments. All students will be notified of their housing status by July 15, 2022.

If you are interested in housing for the upcoming semester, you may complete the housing application. If spaces become available, we will contact eligible students via JSU email to make the required payment. All students will have 24 hours to accept or decline the available assignment. Thank you for your understanding.

MOVE-IN INFORMATION 

Housing & Residence Life is establishing a carefully organized move-in process spread out over several days to follow public health safety guidelines. In order to provide a socially-distanced and efficient Move-In experience, please review the following updates:

  • Volunteer assistance will be available. Moving carts will be available at each residence hall.

  • There is not a limit on the number of guests that may assist students with the move-in process. Please do not bring anyone with you who may be sick or considered at risk.

  • Please consider reducing the number of personal belongings you bring with you to campus. Doing so will help ensure you have a quick and easy unloading process.
