University Housing Application Form

Streamline Your University Housing Applications with Paperform

Managing student housing applications can be overwhelming for universities. Between collecting personal information, matching roommate preferences, accommodating dietary restrictions, addressing accessibility needs, and processing deposits—there's a lot to coordinate. A well-designed university housing application form brings all these elements together in one seamless experience.

This template is built specifically for higher education institutions looking to modernize their residential life operations. Whether you're a small liberal arts college or a large state university, this form helps you capture everything you need while creating a positive first impression for incoming students.

Why This Template Works for Universities

Comprehensive data collection: From room type preferences and roommate matching criteria to accessibility requirements and dietary restrictions, this form captures all the essential information housing coordinators need to make informed placement decisions.

Built-in payment processing: With Paperform's native Stripe, PayPal, and Square integrations, students can pay their housing deposit directly within the application. No need to send them to a separate payment portal or chase down checks—the entire process happens in one place.

Smart conditional logic: The form adapts based on student responses. If someone indicates they have accessibility needs, additional relevant questions appear. If they're interested in roommate matching, they'll see preference questions. This keeps the form clean and relevant for every applicant.

Seamless workflow automation with Stepper: Connect this form to Stepper to automatically route applications to the right housing coordinator, send confirmation emails with next steps, update your student information system, and trigger roommate matching algorithms. You can even set up approval workflows for special accommodation requests.

Perfect for Residential Life Teams

Housing and residential life departments can use this template to replace outdated PDF applications and manual data entry. The form works beautifully on mobile devices (essential since most students will complete it on their phones), and responses flow directly into your preferred systems—whether that's Google Sheets, Airtable, Salesforce, or your student database via webhook.

This template is ideal for universities, colleges, community colleges, boarding schools, and any educational institution managing student housing. It's designed with the needs of admissions offices, residential life coordinators, and student services teams in mind.
