All students–whether admitted as a first-year or transfer student–who participate in the John H. Martinson Honors Program (JMHP) are required to live in JMHP housing in Eighth Street Apartments for their first year (first semester only for spring transfer students).  

HOUSING APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR 2025 - 2026

Students admitted to the JMHP in fall 2025 will live in Eighth Street Apartments for academic year 2025 - 2026.  In their second year and above (i.e., academic year 2026 - 2027 and thereafter), all students will participate in the housing lottery.  If selected in the lottery, students will have the option to live in JMHP housing or in other on-campus housing.  Students who choose to live in JMHP housing must live with other JMHP students.  If not selected in the lottery, they will have to move off campus.  We are able to accommodate many–but not all–upper-year students who would like to live in JMHP housing, but it is not required beyond the first year.
