The Gates and East Street Apartments are University-owned apartment complexes located off-campus, but are approved 鈥渙n-campus鈥� housing for IWU Students. The per-person cost is found on the Tuition and Fees page and is priced per semester, including all utilities. The Gates apartments are fully furnished (including full-sized beds), University internet, a dishwasher, and include an in-unit washer/dryer. East Street Apartments include bedroom furniture (including full-sized beds), University internet, and a shared in-building laundry room.

Beginning in Fall 2019, men who are members of fraternities with University-owned houses will be required to live in their chapter houses through their junior year. Therefore, they are not eligible to live in the Gates or East Street Apartments during their junior year unless their fraternity house meets the occupancy requirement set by the Director of Residential Life and the Director of Student Involvement.

Fraternity members who have lived on campus for six or more semesters (and are eligible to live off campus) may apply for an apartment without needing approval from Student Involvement.

How do I sign up?

Applications are electronic and will be live in MyHousing. For step-by-step instructions, check out . Priority for choosing apartments is based on the groups below, as well as course units.

Once I sign up, am I locked in?

A student signing a housing agreement enters into a contractual obligation with the University for the academic year. Once this agreement is signed (AND APARTMENT/ROOM CHOSEN), no release from those obligations will be granted. Students can change rooms to any university-owned facilities within the contract, as the contract is not for a specific room/apartment.

• To get a time/select,  students must be able to fill an apartment  (4 students for Gates, 2 students for East Street)

If apartments are still available after the filled apartment groups choose, groups unable to fill an apartment will be contacted in order.

Apartment Selection Times and Distribution

Once students complete the appropriate application, ORL staff place all students/applications into tiers based on earned course units. Students are then randomized within the tiers and assigned a specific selection time.  For example, if there are 100 seniors in Tier 1, each student has an equal chance of receiving the 1st time to 100th time. Students' housing selection times will be available in MyHousing, and an email will be sent to their IWU email when times are ready. Emails are sent a few days in advance of room selection.

The housing selection process is designed to ensure that seniors receive priority. Within each course-unit range, students are randomly assigned a time to select an apartment. This way, everyone in the same range has an equal chance of choosing first or last.

The chart below outlines the class tiers and their corresponding unit-hour levels (adapted from the IWU course catalog):

Class tier	Credit-hour range
Senior Tier I	27.5 or more
Senior Tier II	24.00 - 27.49
Junior Tier I	18.5 - 23.99
Junior Tier II	15.00 - 18.49
Sophomore Tier I	11.00 - 14.99
Sophomore Tier II	7.00 - 10.99
Freshmen Tier I	3.00 - 6.99
Freshmen Tier II	0.00 - 2.99
