Contracts & Assignments
To live on-campus, each student is required to sign a Housing and Dining Contract. This contract is available on-line in AccessPlus and this is the preferred method of submission. If you are unable to submit your contract using AccessPlus, you can print paper copy from our Forms & Documents section.
Please note: Your contract is not an application. It is a legally binding document that states your commitment to live on campus. Be sure to read your contract carefully. By signing a contract you are stating that you have read, understood and accepted the Terms & Conditions
- Contracting - New Students - New Students are those freshmen, transfer and graduate students who will attend ISU for the first time at the start of the contract. Also included are those previous ISU students who experienced a two-semester gap in on-campus residency that was not due to waiver.
- Recontracting - Continuing Students - Continuing Students are those individuals who were in attendance at ISU the semester prior to the start of the contract (not including summer) or who lived on campus or who were on waiver the fall or spring semester immediately prior to the start of this contract, regardless of previous assignment location.
- Summer Housing - The cost and convenience of living on campus during the summer can't be beat! Contracts for Summer Housing are separate from fall and spring contracts and are generally available the January before.
- Accommodation Requests - Students who require particular housing or dining assignments due to medical need must complete this process in order to receive consideration.
- Assignment Changes - Looking to change where you live or what meal plan you have? Here's how.
- Cancellations - If you are interested in cancelling your contract, please read this information first. Keep in mind, this information was included in your contract and/or available for you to read prior to and at the time your submitted your contract.
- Using AccessPlus - AccessPlus is the on-line way to manage your contract and assignment. Learn to use this system here.
