Residence Hall Sign-up Time Is Here

We hope your student will consider living on campus next year. Housing & Dining Agreements are due March 31, and room selection will take place in April. Your student can complete the entire process online.

It's a great time to discuss the benefits of campus living with your student. Did you know that students who live on campus:

• Have a higher grade point average
• Have a higher graduation rate
• Study more hours per week
• Report higher satisfaction with general education
• Are more involved in co-curricular activities

Housing Options and Financial Considerations
St. Kate's offers double, single, triple, suite and apartment-style housing. Students seeking off-campus housing should consider the true costs of renting and paying for amenities. The Twin Cities apartment vacancy rate just hit a 10-year low (2.3%), which pushed average rental rates to new highs (source: Minnesota Housing Partnership). St. Kate’s housing fees, on the other hand, always include great amenities — such as laundry, internet access, cable service, all utilities and furniture! Students also have access to study lounges, computer labs, social lounges with televisions and other community-building common spaces.

Housing Sign-Up Process
Everything your student needs to know about Housing Sign Up is on the Residence Life website on KateWay. Additionally, Residence Life has distributed posters, flyers, postcards, brochures and more about this. If your student has questions, please have her call, email or visit the Residence Life Office. Or she can attend one of three information sessions.

If your student is currently commuting and wants to live on campus next year, she can sign up as well. She'll have the same priority access to rooms, suites and apartments as current residents.

Your student can reach Residence Life at 651-690-6617 or residencelife@stkate.edu.
