Welcome home, Pirates!
For students returning to housing for the Spring 2018 semester, bills will be sent out on Friday, December 2nd and are due on Thursday, December 21st.
Only registered students will be billed for housing and meal plans. If you are not registered by Winter Break, which begins on December 20th, you must pack up your items and move out. Your housing assignment will be cancelled and you will not be billed for housing for Spring 2018.
If you’re on a meal plan during Fall 2017 and are registered to return for the Spring 2018 semester, your meal plan will automatically roll over to your account for use in the Spring.
Meal plan changes will open the week of December 1st and will continue through the last day of add/drop on January 26th.
Any unused Pirate Bucks will transfer to your Spring meal plan.
Commuters: this applies to you, too! If you do not wish to rollover your meal plan, please contact our office at 973-761-9172 so we may remove it from your account.
Just a reminder that spring registration is coming soon. According to the Housing License Agreement you agreed to when you applied to housing, you MUST be registered as a full-time student (12 or more credits unless graduating, student teaching, or participating in a clinical/internship) to reside in University housing. Failure to register for Spring by the end of the Fall semester will result in your housing assignment being cancelled AND given away to a new, registered, student.
The first step to registering is to take care of any holds you may have and to clear any balance on your student account. You’ll need to meet with your advisor for a PIN and then you can sign up for classes.
If you do not plan to return for the Spring semester, please complete the Release of Housing License Request form.
Stay tuned to your SHU email and PirateNet for more details on how and when to register for Spring 2018!

Room Change Day will take place on Thursday, October 5th in 68 Duffy Hall. Room Change Day allows residents the opportunity to change their current housing assignment. A room change can occur by either choosing to enter into a vacant assignment, or by switching assignments with another resident. If you wish to change into a vacant room assignment or switch assignments with another resident, you MUST come to the Housing and Residence Life Office, located in 68 Duffy Hall, on Room Change Day during the designated time for your desired residence hall.
A list of vacancies will be posted, in advance of Room Change Day, outside of the Housing and Residence Life Office (68 Duffy Hall) on Wednesday, October 4th at 5pm. If you wish to move into one of the posted vacancies, please attend the session listed below, on Room Change Day, for that location:
11:00AM-1:00PM
For filling vacancies or switching into
Boland and Aquinas Halls
2:00PM-3:00PM
For filling vacancies or switching into
Cabrini, Neumann, Serra, and Xavier Halls
3:00PM-4:00PM
For filling vacancies or switching into
Ora Manor and Turrell Manor
Important Points to Consider:
– Vacancies are limited, and will be filled on a first-come, first served basis.
– A list of vacancies will be posted outside of the Housing and Residence Life Office (68 Duffy Hall) on Wednesday, October 4th at 5pm.
– If you intend to make a room switch that is outside of your current residence hall (i.e you live in Turrell Manor but want to switch into Xavier Hall), please come at the building time for the residence hall that you wish to move INTO.
– If you cannot make the time scheduled for your particular need, please come to HRL (68 Duffy Hall) in advance, and complete a proxy form to send with someone else in your absence.
– We recommend you communicate your desire to move out with your current roommate in advance of Room Change Day, to be fair and prepare them for your departure.
– Upon changing rooms, residents will have 48 hours to check out of their old assignment and into their new assignment. Please plan accordingly.
If you have any questions about Room Change Day, please email shuhousing@shu.edu, or stop our office, located at 68 Duffy Hall.
While it’s our expectation that you carry your key with you at all times, we understand things happen. If you find yourself locked out of your room (don’t worry, it happens) our RA staff is here to help! For a small fee added to your student account, an RA or any member of the HRL staff can let you back into your room.
Lock-out fees are as follows:
1st lock out = $10
2nd lock out = $15
3rd lock out = $25
If your key is lost, we will change your lock and replace your key for your own safety. The charge for this service is $96 and will be added to your student account should this happen to you.
We recommend rocking one of those cool lanyards for sale in the bookstore or remembering to check your pockets/bag for your keys before you or your roommate leave the room.
We don’t expect everyone to know how their eating schedule is going to work out when you get onto campus. As such, students are allowed to switch their meal plans during the first ten days of each semester.
All meal plans changes must be completed by the end of the add/drop period (ten days into the semester.) There will be no charge or billing proration for a meal plan changed within this time period.
Here is a break down of our meal plans:
| Meal Plan | Meals | Pirate Bucks | Guests |
| 1 | 9 meals/week | 300 | 5 |
| 2 | 12 meals/week | 275 | 5 |
| 3 | 160 meals/semester | 300 | 5 |
| 4 | 12 meals/week | 350 | 0 |
| 5 | 14 meals/week | 400 | 5 |
| 6 | 16 meals/week | 375 | 5 |
| 7 (not available for residents) | 40 meals/semester | 75 | 1 |
| 8 | 12 meals/week | 695 | 0 |
