The application requires you to fill out your full name, date of birth and Banner ID. You will also pay the application fee to complete your application.
Confirming Your Host Family
Starting in mid-May, our housing team will open the host family portal for you to view the host homes and rank your favorite options for the fall semester. Summer students are on a different timeline and should contact housing-madrid@slu.edu for more information.
We will do everything we can to assign you your highest-ranked house based on availability. Once our housing team assigns your host family, we will send you their details and the housing agreement for you to sign. Then, you can lock in your reservation by paying either the semester in full by Aug. 1 or by paying the first installment of a payment plan.
What you need to know:
- If you arrive in Madrid before the official move-in date (Aug. 26 for fall 2024), you must make separate living arrangements for those days.
- Failure to make the initial payment by the deadline could result in losing your housing reservation.
- Students who apply for housing after Aug. 1 must make the first payment immediately after receiving their housing assignment.
- If you cannot make the payment in time, please contact the Office of Finance at finance-madrid@slu.edu.
