Residence Life

Housing applications for Fall term will open on March 1^st for returning residents and March 16^th for new residents.  An agreement of the Housing Contract is in the Housing Application. Housing Contracts are for the full academic year (Fall & Spring terms).

Spring applications are available on October 1^st for new residents and the Housing Contract is only for that term. 

Summer housing applications are only for the summer term and will be available in the Housing Portal on April 1^st.

To live in on campus housing, students must be 17 years of age at move-in and be enrolled full time for their program.  All Benton Hall residents are required to take a meal plan. 

To complete a housing application, you must be accepted to Coastal Bend College and have received your college credentials (CBC email and ID Number).

You will need to log into the CBC Housing Portal.

Once in the Portal, you will need to choose the application from the left hand menu for the term you are requesting housing. Please complete the application in full, including all profile questions. 

Once you have completed an application you can choose specific roommates (and suitemates for Benton Hall).  To choose your roommates/suitemates, you do so by selecting “Roommate Groups” on the left side menu and then create group.  You will then need to invite your roommate/suitemate choices by inserting their CBC emails.  PLEASE NOTE: To create a roommate group, all individuals need to complete their housing application.  After inserting the emails, click “Invite your roommates” and the system will send them an email to accept.  They must accept to be in the roommate group.  You will know they accepted when a green checkmark appears next to their name.
