WSSU HRL Living On Campus Guide

Housing Portal All Winston-Salem State University students have access to the housing portal, administered by Mercury. Students can access the housing portal through the housing website by using their WSSU credentials (RAM ID and password). Housing and Residence Life recommends that students access the housing portal using a desktop or laptop computer and use Google Chrome for the best experience. Students can access services such as the housing application, housing cancellations, maintenance requests, and other housing-related services. Housing Requirement Winston-Salem State University has a 2-year (4 semesters) live-on requirement for all WSSU students that enter the university as New First Time Freshmen. This designation is assigned by the Office of Admissions and is not based on a student’s incoming earned credit hours. For example, if a high school student entering Winston-Salem State University has academic credit to be considered a sophomore, this does not release them from the live-on requirement. Should a student who is held to the live-on requirement not apply for housing in a timely manner, Housing and Residence Life will submit an application on the student’s behalf and assign the student to a space at the discretion of the assignment's office. The student’s account will be billed accordingly. Housing Exemption Process: Winston-Salem State University has a 2-year (4 semesters) live-on requirement for all WSSU students that enter the university as New First Time Freshmen (NFTF). Please visit our website to determine if you are eligible for an exemption and to complete the process for filing for one. Students will be notified via email once their exemption has been approved. If a student has received a housing assignment prior to the approval of the request for exemption, the student will be required to submit a housing cancellation form.
