Flex Pathway Housing Application
Flex Pathway Housing Application
New for the 2026-2027 academic year, we’re offering on-campus housing in Newark for newly admitted Fall 2026 Flex Pathway students starting on the Wilmington campus.
Flex Pathway students are not required to live on campus, but we encourage eligible students to take advantage of this opportunity if they’re ready to deepen their connection to the main campus.
Flex Pathway Student Housing Information
Living on campus is not required nor guaranteed for newly admitted Flex Pathway students, but students must apply in the My Housing Portal to be considered for a space. There is no fee to apply, but cancellation and release fees may apply.
Rooms, Accommodations, Fees and Transportation for Flex Pathway Students
Flex Pathway students will be housed together in a building with other first-year students. Rooms will be double occupancy in a traditional-style residence hall without air conditioning.
Flex Pathway students will be housed with other Flex Pathway students. Students can request to room with other Flex Pathway students by entering their information on the Roommate Request page of the housing application.
While we do our best to accommodate as many requests as possible, roommates are not guaranteed for any student and will depend on space availability.
The ability to provide specific housing accommodations will be limited due to the location of this community.
Students with a medical or dietary circumstance that may impact their housing can request reasonable housing accommodations by submitting additional documentation to the appropriate office. Accommodation documentation must be submitted within one week of the housing application for consideration.
If the University is unable to meet an approved accommodation, the student will be released from the housing contract.
Housing Rates
Meal Plans
The meal plan for Flex Pathway students living on the Newark campus includes 125 swipes, 400 points and five guest swipes for the semester. To choose a different meal plan, students must select from the On-Campus Residents dining plans. Students can also add more dining points to their meal plan. Eligible students staying during the Winter Session will need to pay an additional dining fee.
Student Fees
Like Newark campus students, Flex Pathway students will be required to pay on-campus fees in order to have access to Student Wellbeing services and the University Student Centers so they can take part in the many events and student organizations available on campus.
Students living on the Newark campus are responsible for arranging transportation to Delaware Technical Community College (DTCC) campuses. They can buy a parking permit for Newark campus, but parking at DTCC campuses will be a separate cost.
Students can also take the Dart First State bus from the Newark Transit Hub to the DTCC Wilmington campus. With their UDID, students can ride for the $1 Student Fare.
