First-Year & Transfer Housing

The housing application for incoming first-year and transfer students is available to all new students who have confirmed enrollment at the University of Portland.

The housing application is located within the Pilot Housing Portal, which is accessible by clicking the "Sign Up for Housing" button below. Students will receive login information for the Pilot Housing Portal from the Office of Admissions shortly after they confirm their enrollment. Once inside the portal, students can choose the housing application for the upcoming semester (i.e. "Spring 2025"). Students having difficulty logging into the Pilot Housing Portal (or to PilotsUP) can contact the Office of Admissions at 888.627.5601.

Students are required to live on campus during their first two years at the University.

For any questions, please contact the Office of Residence Life and we will be happy to assist you. We can be reached at 503.943.7205 or reslife@up.edu.

Two Year Residency Requirement & Experience

In support of the residential nature of UP and our emphasis on community, and based on longstanding research linking on campus housing with student and academic success in college, all full-time undergraduate students are required to live on campus during their first and second years at UP. For the purposes of this requirement, class year is based on total number of academic years in college.

On campus housing is also available for our juniors, seniors and graduate students, and many of these students choose to continue living on campus for their entire time at UP.
