Financial Aid

Please review all deadlines for state, federal, and campus aid to maximize your eligibility. The FASFA form may be completed on-line at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. The Mansfield University school code is 003324. Additional information can be found on our website at http://esd.mansfield.edu/financial-aid/ or by contacting your personal admissions counselor at 800-577-6826.

Housing & Dining

The advantages of on-campus living are so important to the undergraduate experience that all students in their first and second year are required to reside and dine on-campus. (some exemptions apply).  We look forward to serving as your "home away from home".  The next step in your admissions process is to acquire a housing assignment and meal plan or to seek an approved exemption. 

Please go to My.Mansfield (you will need your email address & email password to access My.Mansfield.  You can get this information by accessing your accounts) beginning:

  • March 2, 2012 for fall 2012 semester housing - This link will be available until August 6, 2012.  Beginning August 7th, you will need to contact the Residence Life Office directly to obtain your housing assignment and meal plan.

Choose the link for MyHousing to participate in the on-line assignment process for both services (room and meals).  Select the link for ApplyOnline.  A $200 "one-time" deposit is required to arrange these services.  This serves as a damage deposit and remains on record as long as you reside on campus.  It allows you to book rooms in future years without any additional deposits.  It is returned at the end of the semester in which you depart campus housing less damages/cleaning which may be experienced.

Review and accept the housing/dining agreement and provide us with your preferences.  There are instances that may qualify for an exemption from the  campus residency requirement and these will be outlined in the on-line assignment process, along with a section to complete to request the exemption (additional documentation required in some instances). Visit the Residence Life web page for more information.  If you have any questions regarding housing, dining or this online assignment process, please contact the Residence Life Office at housing@mansfield.edu or by calling 570-662-4934 or 570-662-4952.
