Living On Campus?
Living on campus is more than just the setting of your college career - it marks the beginning of the next phase of your journey. And at Bloomsburg, you’ll live in comfort and flourish as a member of the Husky Family.
Next Steps Checklist
You've been admitted, congratulations! Now what's next? Please use the checklist below as a roadmap to Bloomsburg!
Let's make it official! A deposit secures your spot in the Husky Family with the incoming class and launches the next phase of admissions, such as getting set up with orientation, residence life, and a step closer to landing a roommate.
Be social and join the conversation. No need to wait until you get on campus, start connecting with current and fellow incoming Huskies today on our vast social media network.
Don't wait. Submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid! By completing the FAFSA form, you'll make sure you're taking advantage of the best student loan options, as well as become eligible for grants, work-study, and scholarships.
Each year we award more than $9 million in scholarships to deserving first-year and transfer students. Be sure to apply as soon as possible, because early applicants receive priority consideration.
The PA State Grant Program is a financial aid program that assists eligible Pennsylvanians afford the costs of higher education at the undergraduate level.
Check it frequently! We will primarily communicate with you through your @huskies.bloomu.edu email address. So this is your main source for important dates, deadlines, and activities.
On-campus housing is guaranteed for both first-year and transfer students. To lock in, you need to complete your MyHousing application and housing agreement, select a meal plan, and request a roommate (if you have one in mind). Be sure to use your BU-assigned email address when starting your application.
- Roommate request - must be submitted in MyHousing by June 1.
- Housing and roommate assignment posted in MyHousing on July 1.
Your transition to Bloomsburg University isn't confined to a one-day orientation event. We've designed a summer-long immersive program that will help you, your family, and supporters, get ready to start your journey on the right 'paw'! Every journey needs a map. Chart your course to the top at orientation.
All new students are required to complete the online health forms prior to starting classes. We work hard to make sure all our Huskies are healthy — your health and wellness are priorities.
All first-year and transfer students are required to submit a final transcript from their previous school. First-year students should submit a transcript showing proof of graduation. Transfer students should submit a transcript showing grades from their final semester in college. Please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions with any questions.
- You'll receive more information concerning the process of scheduling your courses later in the spring!
