Does your student have a maintenance need?

The most efficient way for students to receive assistance is by submitting a maintenance request.

Housing Lottery

Furman has a four-year residency requirement, but there are situations where students may seek off-campus housing or living arrangements.

Changing Room Assignments

If your student is interested in seeking a new room assignment or roommate, your student may submit a request to our office.

Study Away Options

If your student is planning to study away for a full semester, your student has several options to consider when it comes to obtaining a room assignment for the semester they're going to be at Furman.
