Apply | WKU Apartments
Please Note:
The application for a WKU on-campus apartment is a separate application from applying for a residence hall room. If you are a current on-campus resident and are planning on living on campus during the upcoming academic year, regardless of WKU apartment application status, please ensure that you also re-apply for on-campus housing in February/March during housing renewal.
October 1-14 and February 1-14
Apartment offers for the spring semester are sent via email in late October.
Apartment offers for the next academic year are sent via email in late February.
Those who do not receive an offer are placed on a waitlist and will be contacted if an apartment becomes available.
- During October 1-14 or February 1-14, login to the WKU Housing Portal via my.wku.edu.
- Select "Apply for Apartments" from the navigation menu
- Select the appropriate term dates and choose "Apply."
- Follow the prompts.
-
Applications will be given priority based on the date received.

Offers for apartments are made by email in late October for the spring term, and in late February for the upcoming academic year. Correspondence will be sent to the student's WKU email address. Applicants are to respond through their WKU email.

Those who do not receive an offer are placed on a waitlist and will be contacted if an apartment becomes available.

A leasing fee of $75.00 is required when signing your lease at the apartments. A student who is residing in WKU residence halls at the time of application is considered a continuing residential student of WKU and may not be required to pay an additional fee.
To Accept or Decline an Apartment Offer:
-
Login to the Housing Portal via my.wku.edu
-
Select “Apply for Apartments” from the navigation menu
-
Select the Apartment academic term and select “Continue”
-
Navigate to “Apartment Application Status” from the top menu
-
Choose either "Accept" or "Decline"
-
Select “Save and Continue”
-
If accepting, continue through the pages until you have signed the lease and have received an email with confirming your lease is signed. Additionally, you may have to pay the $75 leasing fee (if the fee is not on file) to complete the leasing process.
*Students with a past due account at WKU at the time of leasing will not be offered an apartment. Bills must be paid in full before an apartment can be offered. Contact the Office of Student Billing & Account Services at (270)745-6381 if you have questions about your bill.
Students will electronically sign an individual lease after accepting their apartment offer and confirming that the $75 lease fee has been received.
After the leasing process is complete, the remaining applicants will be placed on a waiting list that is active for the lease term.
The waiting list does not roll over each year; students must apply each term to be eligible to live in the apartments.
Changing Apartment Preferences
After submitting an initial application, some applicants may consider changing their apartment preferences. If you would like to request a change, please send an email to wkuapartments@wku.edu.
