Room Selection Info
Room Selection Overview 2026-27
Room Selection is the general term used to describe the process for residents selecting their rooms on campus for the Fall 2026 – Spring 2027 semester. Shepherd University provides double and single occupancy rooms across its 11 residence halls, representing a mix of traditional, suite, and apartment-style housing options. Students may also select their roommates as well or opt to meet someone new.
There are three components of the Room Selection Process:
#1: Complete the Resident Agreement and the Housing Application on the Good Living Portal.
#2: Pay your $100 Housing Deposit by calling 304-876-5284. This is a one-time fee that is different than the Enrollment Deposit.
#3: Select your space on campus and your meal plan within the Good Living Portal – 2026-2027 Housing Application.
