Application Process
Printable PDF: Application for Residence
Applicants are required to read the Resident Handbook before applying to the Residence Program. Having read the Resident Handbook, applicants complete an Application for Residence. Applicants then bring or send their completed application, with two letters of reference attached, and a $20 application fee to the Gutenberg office. (The application fee is waived for students also applying to Gutenberg’s undergraduate program.) After the application has been received, an interview with Residence Program staff will be scheduled.
The purpose of this interview is to allow both the applicant and the Gutenberg staff to determine whether the applicant’s residence at Gutenberg would be mutually beneficial. Because of the cooperative nature of the living situation, residents must be responsible, tolerant, and considerate in order to live here.
March 1 is the deadline for students to apply for fall housing. Housing is limited and fills up quickly. Qualified applicants are admitted in the order in which they apply, and applicants for whom no room is available are placed on a waiting list. Gutenberg students are urged to apply early.
Although students are urged to apply by March 1, the Residence Program accepts applications throughout the year, and rooms occasionally become available. These vacancies are offered first to people on the housing waiting list and then made available to new applicants.
