Good Living Portal
What is the Good Living portal?
The Good Living Portal is your access into completing the Resident Agreement, submitting housing preferences, meal plans and requesting roommates. Commuters can also request your meal plans through the Good Living portal. Other forms, such as the “Off-campus Request Form” are also available through this portal.
