Applying for Housing

 

To reside in college housing, a student must enroll in a minimum of 12 semester hours at Blinn College and must pass a criminal history record review and provide documentation of having received the Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination. Blinn College housing assignments are made without regard to race, color, creed, national origin or disability. Room assignments are made according to the date the deposit is received; therefore, an early application, preferably in the fall semester of a high school student’s senior year, is advised. A prospective housing student must:

1. Complete the Housing Application found in the back of the Blinn College catalog or on the website (www.blinn.edu/housing).

2. Complete the Release of Background Information form to authorize Blinn College to check the applicant’s criminal history record. Enclose a copy of either the applicant’s Driver’s License, State identification number, Passport or Military ID with the $10 non-refundable record fee.

3. Complete the Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination Form and return the form with copies (if applicable).

4. Submit the complete Housing Application along with the Release of Background Information form and Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination form to: Blinn College Enrollment Services, 902 College Avenue, Brenham, TX 77833. Enclose the appropriate deposit amount ($200 for Residence Hall or $300 for Blinn College Park Apartments) and the non-refundable $10 background record fee. Both amounts may be included in one check or transaction. The deposit will serve as a combination reservation/damage/room clearance deposit. The deposit does not apply to housing rent.

5. Apply for admission to the Blinn College Office of Admissions and Records. The admission application must be on file before the room assignment is made. The Admission file does not have to be complete before an assignment is made.
