Final Deadline

Students who do not select a room by August 1 will be manually assigned based on their
housing questionnaire and preferences. Room assignment information will be sent by August 7.

Step 1: Apply and be accepted to SUNY Broome

  • You will not have access to apply for housing until you have been fully accepted as a matriculated student.

Step 2: Submit your housing application

  • By expressing interest in housing during the College application, you will automatically receive email instructions to submit a housing application.

Step 3: Housing Application & Room Selection Process

  1. Log into MyCollege
  2. Sign in using your SUNY Broome credentials.
  3. Select “Apply for Housing – Fall 2026.”
  4. Read and electronically sign the Housing License Agreement.
  5. Complete all required profile, emergency contact, and lifestyle/preference questions.
    • If you are under the age of 18 – a proxy is required

    • Double Room
    • Single Room (limited availability)

  9. Once completed, you will receive a confirmation “Thank You” page and a confirmation email from Housing and Residential Life (HRL).

Step 4: Complete All Obligations

  • Finances
    1. Once you complete Step 3 above, your Application will be converted to a room charge and a meal plan charge. These will not show up on your account until your bill becomes live,  – this typically happens just after July 4
    2. Once available – you must satisfy your financial Obligations. This can be accomplished with financial aid, as well as individual payments.

  • NYS residents must submit their Certificate of Residency.
  • Submit your Immunization Requirements

How to Cancel Your Housing License and Get Your Deposit Back

Who can cancel:

Students are able to cancel their Housing License and request a deposit refund if they submit their cancellation request prior to August 1 for the Fall Semester, and December 15 for new deposits related to the Spring Semester. After the deadline, students may still cancel their Housing License but are not guaranteed a deposit refund, unless SUNY Broome is able to re-establish the occupancy of the space.

How to cancel:

Students may cancel their Housing License by contacting the Housing Office at housing@sunybroome.edu via student’s Broome email. In the cancellation email please include the student’s full name, student ID# (B#), and the reason for cancellation. After our office receives the cancellation email, please allow 4-6 weeks for the cancellation check to process. The check will then be mailed to the address we have on file.
