How may I apply for a room?

Click on the Student Housing Application link. If completed correctly, you will see the message “Submitted successfully”.
Disclaimer: The FAFSA (Financial Aid) application is not a part of the housing application process for the Goodman campus and does in no way serve as completion of the housing application itself. In Step Six of the FAFSA application, it asks if you plan to live either on campus, with a parent or off campus. Selecting “On Campus” does not satisfy or complete the housing application process. You must complete the Student Housing Application online from our website at www.holmescc.edu.

When may I apply for a room?

The student housing application is available year round and may be completed before or after applying for admission to our college.

May I stay in the dorm on weekends?

The only students allowed to stay on weekends are the out of state and out of district athletes on scholarship. From time to time, some of our performance groups such as cheer, band, choir, Connection, etc. are required to stay for school business, meaning that they have performances at certain places on the weekend. It is closed to everyone else. If you do not have transportation on weekends, please do not apply for a room.
