New, Incoming First-Year Undergraduate Students
Apply to live in student housing by completing your housing contract in the Housing Portal. The contract allows you to select your housing preferences, including residence hall and preferred roommates. All first- and second-year students can select either Kacek Hall, Cunningham Hall, or Lewis Hall in McCormick Student Village as their preference. Second year students can also choose Rowe Village Middle or North. All placements are by availability.
Students who live with a parent or guardian within 20 miles of Illinois Tech’s Mies Campus are eligible for a student housing waiver. All other waivers will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and approved by the Office of Admissions, so make sure to discuss with your admission counselor if this applies to your situation.
If you have any questions about the waiver process, please email us at housing@iit.edu.
