Apply for Housing
Beginning of the Spring of 2025, Residence Life made the transition to eRezLife, which is a Housing and Residence Life software system. eRezLife at Southeast Community College will enhance the residential experience by providing students a more hands-on approach to the Housing process. With eRezLife, students who submit their housing applications in a timely manner will get to take part in the “Room Lottery Process”, which means that students will get to pick their own room!
To begin the Housing process, please use the link below to log into eRezLife. Please note that eRezLife uses Single Sign-On, meaning that only students accepted to SCC will be able to access the platform.

Housing Process and Timeline
Accepted SCC students will need to log into eRezLife using the link above to fill out their Housing application (log in with your SCC username and password). Once applications are submitted, new students who have not lived on campus will need to pay the $150 Room Readiness/Reservation Fee by contacting Student Accounts at 402-437-2669. This fee is non-refundable and goes towards the annual turnover of the room and other incidental costs incurred during a resident’s entire stay at SCC.
With eRezLife, Residence Life will have different timelines of when applications will open and when room selections will begin:

ASSIGNMENT PRIORITY
Housing assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis after the contract and Room Readiness/Reservation Fee are both received. The timeframe in which you submit both of these is crucial to ensure that you have a spot reserved on campus for the upcoming semester. In general, returning students will have priority over incoming students, and students who submit their applications and Room Readiness/Reservation Fee earlier will have priority over later applicants. We will accept contracts up through the beginning of the term, provided space is still available.
