Location Matters
Living in residence halls enhances your college experience. You find yourself in the middle of campus activities and close to your classes.
It can be less expensive, too. Students who live on campus are more likely to graduate on time. They report higher satisfaction with their college experience. Living here will be your haven.
Some Students Must Live on Campus
If you have earned fewer than 54 credit hours, are single and under the age of 21, you must live on campus.
If you live nearby with a parent or legal guardian, in their permanent home, you may request an exception.
A professional Resident Director (RD) lives in each hall to manage an environment that integrates learning and Belhaven’s values. Resident Assistants (RAs) are student leaders who live with the students and assist the RD in maintaining an environment in each hall that is conducive to living and learning.
All About Living On Campus
What is the Housing Application? The housing application, available from BlazeNet, is the portal where you submit your housing application (if living on campus), select your room and connect with possible roommates.
Current Students: In order to access the Housing Application, current students must be in good standing with Belhaven University and must not have any financial or conduct holds.
First-time Incoming Students: We are excited to welcome you to live on campus! Before you can access the Housing Application, you must pay your enrollment deposit.
What is the Housing Deposit? All students planning to live on campus must pay the $150 residential housing deposit before they can access Room Selection and secure their spot. This is not an additional fee, rather deposit will be applied to your residence life charges. Please note that financial aid cannot be used to pay the housing deposit.
Where do I pay the housing deposit? The housing deposit can be paid in the payment portal through BlazeNet by following these instructions.
- Login to Blazenet.
- Locate the Balance Info widget on the dashboard and click the "Make a Payment" button OR dropdown the "Financial Info" menu and select "Payments" to be transferred to the payment site.
- Either on the "Overview" or "Make a Payment" page, scroll down to the "Available Items" section and click on "Housing Deposit" and then "Add to Payment."
- Proceed to "Checkout" and select your payment method. Credit card payments will incur an additional service fee. Bank account ACH payments will be charged a flat $0.50 fee. Input your payment information and click "Continue." Then, on the last screen, review the charge and payment information and provide an email address to which a receipt will be sent.
- Click the "Pay" button to submit payment.
Housing Application Opens March 1.
Starting March 1, you can log in and complete the housing application with your personal and housing information. Completing the application makes you eligible to participate in room selection.

Current Residential Student Selection: Current residential students who have paid their housing deposit can re-select their current room or choose a different available room during this period.
