First-Year & Transfer Housing

The housing application for incoming first-year and transfer students is available to all new students who have confirmed enrollment at the University of Portland.

After you have confirmed your enrollment and set up your PIlotsUP portal access, you are ready to apply for housing. The housing application is located within the Pilot Housing Portal, which is accessible by clicking the "Sign Up for Housing" button below. The best way to log in is to scroll down and select the option for "Single Sign On" or "SSO." Once inside the portal, you can choose the housing application for the upcoming semester (i.e. "Spring 2025"). If you have difficulty logging in to the Pilot Housing Portal, you can contact the Office of Residence Life at reslife@up.edu or 503-943-7205. 

If you are a new student starting at UP in Spring 2025 (January), use the "Spring 2025" application in the Pilot Housing Portal.

If you are a new student starting at UP in Fall 2025 (August), use the "Academic Year 2025-2026" application in the Pilot Housing Portal. 

For any questions, please contact the Office of Residence Life and we will be happy to assist you. We can be reached at reslife@up.edu or 503-943-7205.

Two Year Residency Requirement & Experience

In support of the residential nature of UP and our emphasis on community, and based on longstanding research linking on campus housing with student and academic success in college, all full-time undergraduate students are required to live on campus during their first and second years at UP. For the purposes of this requirement, class year is based on total number of academic years in college.

On campus housing is also available for our juniors, seniors and graduate students, and many of these students choose to continue living on campus for their entire time at UP.
