Transfer Student Information
Live Stockton As a Transfer Student
Welcome to Stockton University as you prepare to transfer to Stockton, 
consider living on campus. Living on campus is one of the best parts of college or
university experiences. Research has shown that students who attend liberal arts institutions, who live on
campus also have significantly higher G.P.A.'s than comparable students at institutions
who live off campus (Turley & Wodtke, 2010).
As a residential student you have access to close parking lots, and programs and activities
that other students do not have. Transfer students are deliberately housed together
so students can have a shared experiences with students of similar experiences. The
resident assistants in Housing 1 are specially trained to work and provide programming
for transfer students.
Apply to live on campus
Once you are admitted to Stockton University and have submitted your enrollment deposit, housing options will be presented to you based upon your status as a transfer student. You should closely review your options and complete your housing application as soon as possible which will improve your chances of living in the style of room and your requested roommate(s). Some transfer students will initially be labeled as a freshmen transfer however, once Academic Advising has had an opportunity to evaluate your transcript your classification will be adjusted. Freshmen transfer and Upperclassmen transfer students have the same housing options, so no one is at a disadvantage.
Through the housing application you can access the roommate finder tool and and self-select
the style of room you would like to live in. Requests can never be guaranteed, however
Residential Life prioritizes roommates matches over the style of room based upon student
feedback. Students who sign the contract agree to live on campus for the entire academic
year, please read the document carefully prior to signing it.
