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.

Steps to Complete the Housing Application

• Log into the YCP student portal using your YCP student login information 
• Click on the house icon, MyHousing
• Click on the Application tab, located on the upper ribbon
• Select the "New Student Housing Application" 
• Complete the online housing application 
• Special housing accommodation documentation can be uploaded at the bottom of this application
• Specific residence halls may be added as preferences. Please note, adding preferences to the application is not required, nor guaranteed. 

The Office of Residence Life understands that some students may need reasonable housing accommodations.  New students looking for this support are asked to submit medical documentation from their doctor, which can be uploaded to the New Student Housing Application, or sent via email to residencelife@ycp.edu, faxed to 717.849.1644, or mailed to Office of Residence Life, York College of Pennsylvania, 441 Country Club Road, York, PA 17403-3651.

July 8, 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.
