Application Process
Full-time LPS students enrolled in degree-granting programs may apply for housing by logging into https://myhomeatpenn.upenn.edu beginning June 1 using their Pennkey and password. Students receive their Pennkey once they have been entered into the student registration system by their schools.
Both undergraduate and graduate LPS students are housed in Sansom Place. Options include single rooms, one and two-bedroom apartments. Furnishings and utilities are included. Because returning Penn students have priority, we advise that you list several room type choices in order to increase your opportunities for assignment. Undergraduates are housed on contiguous floors. The undergraduate occupancy period is for the academic year and rent is charged on a semester basis. Graduate students may select either a September - May or September - June occupancy period. Rent is charged monthly. Older undergraduates may be placed in graduate housing.
All students must sign an Occupancy Agreement, a legally binding contract, for the full occupancy period and are responsible for rent for the full term. Please read the cancellation policies before signing the Agreement and submitting your application.
Assignments for the Fall Semester will begin in July. Assignments for the Spring will begin in December. You will be notified when your assignment has been posted at myhomeatpenn.upenn.edu. You must confirm or cancel your housing. Confirm means you are living on campus. Cancel if you are no longer attending the University or if you are not living on campus. You will be charged cancellation fees according to the terms of your Occupancy Agreement.
