We offer DigiPen students housing during the academic year, summer, and for various DigiPen programs throughout the year. While applying for housing and expressing interest in living within our apartment communities, residents can request gender-inclusive housing, DSS housing accommodations, select roommate preferences, and indicate interest in participating in living learning communities.
To complete a housing application and to be considered for housing you must:
Be accepted to DigiPen Institute of Technology, sign your enrollment agreement, pay your $150 enrollment fee, and complete your Online Learning Readiness Self-Check. From the email you receive detailing your DigiPen login credentials, you will use the initial portion of your email address (for instance, “kristy.lee”) as a username to access the Housing portal.
Fill out the application.
Pay the $300 security deposit after completing your application.
Application submission does not guarantee housing. Due to limited availability, DigiPen Housing will only be able to place a limited number of students within its Housing program. If you are not placed in Housing, you will be placed on the waitlist. Being placed on the waitlist does not guarantee eventual placement in Housing.
Academic Year Housing is an eight-month contract that begins in August and concludes in April. This period covers all classes and sessions in the fall and spring semesters, as well as any holiday breaks during this time frame.
Housing provides a “seamless” transition period for students who are continuing from one term to the next. Students may or may not be required to move to another apartment during this transition. Students who are not continuing to the next Housing term may have a different move-out date.
Application information and eligibility requirements are listed on the housing application portal. Please note that certain Housing terms have different expectations. For example, Summer Housing is restricted to continuing students from the previous academic year and prior spring semester. Priority is given to those enrolled in summer classes and/or who have applied for the next academic year.

Cost
Housing prices vary based on the length of the contract. We currently offer four-month contracts for the summer, eight-month contracts for the academic year, and a separate four-month contract for students joining during the spring semester. These time frames also cover any holiday breaks during the designated months.
Although all residents are asked their housing preferences in their application, residents are ultimately assigned in units depending on availability and priority.
