Living at Harding

If you are a transfer student, learn more and sign up for housing while attending Bison Ready, a program for transfer students who are admitted to Harding and will be enrolling for a future semester.

Chinese students will be assisted by the Chinese Student Services Office and work directly with the Residence Life Coordinator concerning arrival times.

Residence Hall assignments will be posted on Pipeline in early January. Students will receive an email to their Harding email account including a link to access Pipeline. To access Pipeline, students will need their username and password. The DormNet Help Desk can provide assistance.

Residence Hall assignments for new students are prioritized according to the following:

• New students are placed in order by the received date/payment of their housing form.
• If two students desire to be roommates, they are placed in order by the latter of the two housing form acceptance dates.
• After students are placed in order as indicated above, assignments start with the earliest housing form acceptance date. Efforts will be made to meet requests for both roommate and residence hall. If both requests are not possible, priority is given to which the student placed as more important.
