Application Guide
Check-out the Application Guides for step-by-step instructions including screen shots of the Housing application. The housing application process and timeline for students who are new to Georgia Tech are different than they are for returning students. First-year, new transfer, and new graduate students have unique admission timelines that impact when you can apply for housing. Mostly importantly, all incoming students must be full admitted and commit to Georgia Tech by paying the Admission Deposit before access is granted to My Housing.
Please remember that housing is not required and not guaranteed for any student.

- You must electronically sign the Housing Contract and submit your Housing Application to secure housing. Note - if you are under 18 years old at the time of application, a parent, guardian, or guarantor must sign your housing contract to complete the application.

Graduate and Family Housing Options
Please note, students can apply for housing once their admission is verified and finalized by the Office of Graduate Education. Once a student is admitted by their department, the Office of Graduate Education will complete an application verification and evaluation process which can take between six to eight weeks from the date that your required documents are received. In some cases, it can take up to 12 weeks during peak admission times.
