Starting Calvin in…
Interim or spring semester:
- Complete your housing application
We know there’s a great roommate out there for you, and we want to help you find each other.
Calvin’s residence life program has an amazing record for producing successful roommate pairs, and they rely on the information you provide. If you’ve already chosen a roommate, be sure to list each other on your applications.
Note: your housing application won’t be processed until your enrollment deposit is received.

Transitions Orientation involves more than just getting the lay of the land.

You’ll want to be ready for your advising appointment during Transitions Orientation, so be sure to complete the following at least 10 days before your orientation session:
- 3-minute academic questionnaire (as soon as possible)
