Occupancy Verification

It’s that time of year! Upon your return, you’ll be required to complete your Occupancy Verification via the Housing Porta l. All residents must complete this process by January 22. This quick process lets us know that you have moved into your assigned room and that you have working keys to your room.

Need help? View our step-by-step instructions on how to complete your occupancy verification.

We are just under a week away from the deadline to apply to be an RA! Interested in a premiere student leadership position on campus? Apply to be an RA via the Housing Portal by January 16. You can learn more about the RA role by visiting go.wfu.edu/ra.
