APPLY FOR HOUSING
Steps to Complete:
Sign in to the housing portal, MyHousing with your username and password
Select "Housing Application (Potomac State).
Select the term for which you are applying for (ex. PSC - Academic Year 2026-27 - Fall Only 2026)
Follow the process of completing the housing application and submitting the $225 deposit. During this process you may view roommate profiles and select your room. If you and a friend would like to room together, both of you will need to have started the housing application and paid the $225 housing deposit. It is up to you and your roommate to place yourselves in a room. MyHousing is not designed to automatically place students together into a room. Under no circumstances does the College guarantee who will be your roommate.
Please log in to the WVU Portal regularly for the most up-to-date information concerning housing and other communications. There is not a deadline to apply for housing, but those who apply and pay their deposit early have a better chance of selecting the hall of their choice.
