Apply for Housing
Housing Application Steps
- Housing Application
New Students: Complete the spring 2026 Brenham Campus housing application. You will submit a non-refundable $125 application fee and a refundable $100 damage deposit, for a total of $225. - Submit Department of Public Safety (DPS) Computerized Criminal History Verification Form
Sign and submit the form. You do not need to complete the fingerprint process unless you would like to request a copy of your background check. If you choose to request a copy, you will work directly with DPS to pay the required fee and submit your fingerprints. - Submit Proof of Health Insurance Coverage
Upload a copy of your insurance card in PDF or JPG format. - Submit your Blinn ID Card Photo (New Students Only)
Submit the photo you would like to appear on your Blinn ID card.
Photo requirements:
- A selfie against a plain, solid white background
- No objects or people visible behind you
- Face the camera directly
- No hats, head tilts, filters, or shadows
- Please review the full photo guidelines before submitting
- Submit Bacterial Meningitis Shot Record (New students only)
Submit your vaccination record, and ensure that your name is clearly listed on the document. - Submit FERPA Release Form (Optional)
Complete this form if you wish to grant the Blinn College District permission to speak with your parent(s) or guardian(s) regarding billing, financial aid, emergencies, or other protected information. - Academic Advising
Confirm that you have completed academic advising. - Class Registration
Ensure that you are registered for the required number of credit hours to qualify for campus housing.
All students are required to register for a minimum of 12 credit hours to receive and maintain a room assignment. Students who drop below 12 credit hours at any time may have their room assignment canceled.
The Housing and Residence Life Office requires that a student be registered for a minimum of 12 credit hours and their bill paid in full before permitted to check in. Setting up an installment plan through their myBLINN account or accepting sufficient financial aid to cover your bill will satisfy the paid portion of the paid and registered requirement.
This deposit will be refunded to your student account at the end of the academic year. Please note that this deposit will be applied to any outstanding balances on your account (damages to your room, parking tickets, etc.).
A portion of your application fee will pay for a criminal history check. Please be aware that if you have any convictions or pending charges for a felony, Class A misdemeanor, or Class B misdemeanor, you will not be able to live on campus and your $125 application fee or $50 housing term renewal fee will not be refunded.
If you are an out-of-state or out-of-country resident, please monitor your Blinn email account for an email from HireRight. Included in the email is a link for you to complete your background information. This information is necessary for a background check.
A meal plan is required for students living on campus.
Students who cancel their rooms prior to the start of school will have the full cost of room and board removed from their bill. There are no refunds issued if a student moves out of their room, unless they also withdraw from courses at Blinn prior to the 8th week of classes. After the start of the 8th week of classes, no refunds are provided.
