University Housing's ReApplication Process

"ReApp— the free housing reapplication process for returning students who live in residence halls now and wish to apply to live in a residence hall next year— is underway.

Students currently living on the Boone campus can apply for continued on-campus housing through the ReApp process. Incoming first-year students are required to live on campus, as this experience fosters community and supports their educational development, contributing to App State’s high retention and graduation rates.

The ReApplication opened on Tuesday, October 1st, and will close at 11:59 PM on Sunday, December 1st. There is no fee associated with the ReApp process - it is free to apply. The date that a student completes ReApp during this period does not indicate the order in which selection invitations will be sent. Selection invitations will be randomized and will begin in January through the end of February, 2025.

Once ReApp closes, we will open applications for students who missed the deadline for completing the re-application process, as well as for continuing students who live off campus but wish to apply to move on campus. For these students, we recommend beginning a search for off-campus housing early to ensure they can find housing that meets their needs. On-campus housing is not guaranteed to continuing students.

More information about ReApp can be found on the University Housing website."

Civic Literacy Initiative and the Civic Literacy Student Fellows

The Civic Literacy Initiative fosters a nonpartisan, civically engaged, and informed campus community. Through Student Affairs and Academic Affairs collaboration, we will help students examine complex questions and learn to discuss them with confidence and respect for differences in thought, belief, opinion, and background. With a strong commitment to student success, freedom of expression, institutional neutrality, academic freedom, and nondiscrimination, we support all students as they develop into leaders who can skillfully navigate complex conversations, increase democratic engagement, and build strong community ties through experiential learning. In doing so, the goal is to foster a university community that is welcoming to all and an academic culture of collaboration and respect.

The Office of Community-Engaged Leadership is excited to announce that in addition to the 11 volunteer members of our AppVotes Voter Coalition, we have hired 13 students to serve as Civic Literacy Fellows within the coalition!

The goal of the coalition is to increase civic literacy on campus every year through activities such as educational presentations, voter registration programs, and getting people to the polls. The Student Fellow role is a paid position that plays a crucial role in organizing and leading initiatives aimed at promoting civic literacy and engagement among App State students. 

Please welcome our new fellows:

● Aidan Beauregard

● Nick Jackson

● Dillon Smart

● Ava Zellman

● May Currens

● Rian Mofu

● Isabella Lebron

● Jones Graf

● Abby Gonzalez Zavala

● Artie Bradley

● Andrew Myers

● Sofie Mascellino

● Hunter Messick

One of the main initiatives that the Civic Literacy Fellows will be working on this semester is our

Civic Literacy Presentations. With the election coming up, we have received a few questions

about updated voting laws and info that students (and all NC residents) will need to know.

CEL/AppVotes is a hub that students can always come to with questions about voting -

however, we know that we are not the only people who will get questions about these topics.

To help answer these questions and equip you with the information you'll need this Fall, we are

offering Civic Literacy Presentations for classrooms & groups/organizations! These

presentations range from 15-40 minutes, depending on which you select. To see all of the

options and to request a presentation, click here.
