EFSC Student Housing Application Opens March 3

Eastern Florida State College invites current and in-coming students to study and live on campus and is preparing to accept applications for its student housing facilities on the Melbourne Campus for the 2023-2024 academic year.

The online application portal opens at 12 a.m. on Friday, March 3. Room availability in on-campus student housing is limited, although space is expanded for the 2023-24 academic year because a second, 96-bed facility is under construction.

Fall move-in dates for both housing facilities are August 9-10 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

There has been no price increase since the first housing building was opened in 2020. The cost is $7,000 for one academic year, which includes the major Fall and Spring terms if paid by July 20. Summer term housing is optional at a cost of $1,500.

A $150 application fee is required and must be paid within 14 days of submitting the online application form. If housing space is not available, the applicant may request an application fee refund.

In order to be eligible to move in, students must be registered for at least 12 full-credit hours.

EFSC's Residence Halls on the Melbourne Campus are fully air conditioned 96-bed facilities divided into furnished suites with four individual bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, a shared full kitchen and a common living room.

Other amenities include Internet access, cable TV, a laundry facility, study and recreational rooms as well as parking.

The second housing building is currently under construction and planned to be completed and ready for occupancy immediately prior to the start of the Fall 2023 term. EFSC will notify applicants assigned to that building if occupancy is delayed for any reason.

Students assigned to on-campus housing must sign a contract by academic year, with residents who commit to two major terms (Fall and Spring) having first preference for housing placement and first preference for the optional summer term. Fall-only or Spring-only contracts are available on a space-available basis after full academic year residents have been placed.
