If you are attending Mississippi State University for the first time, you must first apply and be officially admitted to the university in order to submit your housing preferences. Upon admittance to the university, an onCampus account will be created for you.

For students admitted after April 1 or who submit housing preferences after April 1, assignments will be made based on the date of your submission of the housing preferences and payment of the non-refundable reservation fee. Roommate requests may not be accepted after April 1. If you have been admitted and have received your login credentials, visit onCampus to submit your housing preferences. A non-refundable $55 reservation fee is required. The reservation fee is payable by check, money order, or credit card.
