First-year students:
All incoming first-year students are required to live in on-campus housing for their first year; however, students are not guaranteed their choice of housing, and must complete their housing/dining contract to be assigned a space. Assignments for incoming first-year students and transfers are made in contract receipt order, so the earlier your contract arrives, the earlier you are assigned in the process.

The only students that are guaranteed housing in Harper are those who have applied and been accepted to the Mozaiko Living-Learning Community. To complete your Housing/Dining Contract and apply to Living-Learning Programs (such as Mozaiko), log into the StarRez Portal.
