Residence Life for New Students

When you receive your acceptance information from the Admissions Office, you will want to submit your FAFSA and also pay your deposits online.  The Admissions webpage can help you with these steps or you may contact them at (717) 849-1600.

Once your deposit is accepted by the College, you will want to complete the online housing application.

Beginning March 1, 2019, Students attending YCP starting Fall 2019 may complete their online housing application.  This will be available to students within one business day of paying the deposits.

The housing application is where you may list your personal and potential building preferences.

July 15, 2019, is the day students will be able to see their housing placement and roommate information for Fall 2019!

Access Housing Placement and Roommate Information

• Access MyHousing
• Click on the MyHousing tab
• Under the MyAssignments section and under Spring 2019, students may see their hall and room placement and the type of room in which they are placed (double bedroom, single bedroom)
• Under the Roommate/Suitemate section, students will see their roommate and their contact email

It is highly recommended that roommates contact each other ahead of time to arrange the who-brings-what, micro-fridge rental options, and to get to know each other a bit. 

From our experience working with college students and research suggests the first six weeks of college is pivotal in making their transition and experience successful.  Because of this, all new and transfer students are required to complete the Spartan Start-Up online program.  Access information will be emailed to your YCP email account. Students who do not complete these courses on time will receive a follow-up email and a hold will be placed on their student account.
