Do you want to live in on-campus housing?
Panther Housing Selection ("PHS" for short) is the way to do it! Panther Housing Selection is Chapman's process for both current residents who wish to return to university housing and for commuters who wish to move on-campus for the first time. Panther Housing Selection is for single undergraduate students only. Please see our graduate or married/family student housing page for information about those options.
The Office of Housing and Residence Life is excited to announce the launch of a brand new online housing solution provided by StarRez, Inc. This powerful new tool means that this year Panther Housing Selection will be entirely online! So no more waiting in long lines and fighting the crowds to select your housing assignment for next year. You will be able to apply for Panther Housing Selection, select your housing assignment and sign your electronic Residence Living License Agreement all from your own computer using the brand new Chapman Housing Portal.
PHS is comprised of two separate processes – The application and the selection process. Below is information that all students need to know about how to apply for Panther Housing Selection. To receive a priority assignment, the deadline to apply for Panther Housing Selection is April 6, 2009.
Detailed information on how to select your housing assignment using the new Chapman Housing Portal will be posted right here on April 14, 2009 so be sure to check back!
For detailed descriptions of both our Residence Hall and Apartment communities, please visit our Housing Options for Undergraduates webpage. Please note that the University Houses and Glassell Apartments are not a part of this Panther Housing Selection Process. Students currently residing in these areas will participate in a separate process.

 Housing Application Fee
In order to participate in Panther Housing Selection, all students must submit a $50 Housing Application Fee. A Housing Application Fee is standard among institutions that provide superior online services similar to those that the Chapman Housing portal powered by StarRez will now provide.
Any applicant who does not submit the $50 Housing Application Fee will be billed for this amount at the end of the academic year.
All payments for the Housing Application Fee must be made at the Cashier's Office, located in the Bhathal Student Services Center. The Cashier's Office may be reached at 714.997.6616.
Security/Holding Housing Deposit
All students must have a Security/Holding Housing Deposit of $600 on file with Chapman University. If you are a current resident, you likely already have such a deposit posted to your student account and a duplicate deposit is NOT required. However, if you are unsure what the status of your Security/Holding Housing Deposit may be, you will be able to view your current account balance on the final page of your online Panther Housing Selection Application.
Should you need to submit a Security/Holding Housing Deposit, you may do so by going to the Cashier's Office, located in the Bhathal Student Services Center. The Cashier's Office may be reached at 714.997.6616.
