Move-In for the 2025-26 Academic Year is scheduled for Saturday, August 9th and Sunday, August 10th. Students can move in during the week after as well. Students will recieve an email during the summer to sign up for their check-in timeslot. Information will be sent to their student email with instructions to do so. Note: Students must be compliant with their meningitis ACYW vaccine or wavier form before they can select their check-in timeslot.

Our staff will be ready to meet the residents and families there!

If you are graduating at the end of the Fall semester or moving due to an internship, just fill out your academic year housing application like normal. Once you know your intended move-out date, please submit a contract cancellation request for the Academic Year in the Shocker Housing Portal. You will not incur cancellation fees as a result of graduation or internships, but if you stay past the Fall semester end date (usually mid-December), you may have nightly fees added to your student account. If you are leaving due to a study-abroad program, please submit documentation of your program with your cancellation request to avoid fees. If you have further questions, please email us at housing@wichita.edu or call 316-978-3693.

Residents must have a valid ePermit to park on campus. Parking permits can be purchased through Parking Service's Parking Portal. 

Shocker Hall residents can park in any lot that are marked with a prominent orange "H" signage with a permit. 

The Flats and Suites residents can park in any lot that are marked with a prominent green "S" signage with a permit. 

If you would like a spot in the underground garage at The Flats, that will cost an additional $100 per semester and you will need to go in person to the University Police Department station with cash or check to purchase that parking pass. *For The Flats residents only

All residents must have a meal plan. First-Year Residents in Shocker Hall and The Suites must purchase one of the three Unlimited Plans. Returning Residents living in The Flats may purchase any of the six residential meal plans. Exemptions are rarely granted as the Dining Services team has worked hard to provide a variety of meal options that meet all residents' dietary needs. Visit our Dining Services page for more information.

Your room and board are applied to your student account each semester. You can make payments on your Student Account Suite, which can be found in the MyFinances tab when you log into you .

Your financial aid will be applied first to your tuition and fees and then will start to cover the rest of your balance, including your housing and meal plan balance. If you need to set up a payment plan to cover your costs, you can find more information or by contacting Accounts Receivable.

Unfortunately, no. Our Dining Service provider orders food in advance based on the number of students per semester that signed up for meal plans.  They have vendors that they use for their food purchases that need those numbers in advance as well.  They aren't able to issue refunds because the money has already been spent for the food prepared in anticipation of each student鈥檚 needs.  If you would like to bring down the cost of your meal plan, you can change your meal plan once per semester online through your housing portal, but the meal plan change form has to be submitted by the deadline, which is typically 1 week after classes start.
