Welcome Home!
The 2025-2026 Academic Year housing application is open. This application is for students looking to secure housing on the Illinois Tech campus for the whole academic year 2025-2026 (Fall 2025 and Spring 2026). Students will be able to request a Fall 2025 only contract modification by emailing housing@iit.edu once they complete their Academic Year 2025-2026 application.
Students may either search Housing System in the Illinois Tech Dashboard or may click here for a direct link to the 2025-2026 Academic Year housing application. Students must log in to the StarRez Housing portal (with the Student SSO option) using your Illinois Tech username and password. Please note that the 2025-2026 Academic Year housing application does require a $600 prepayment that is nonrefundable should a student choose to cancel. This is not a fee, this goes directly toward paying your total housing cost.
Please note that Illinois Tech is currently at high occupancy, all room types are subject to availability, and student preferences will be met whenever possible, but not guaranteed.
We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!
