Frequently Asked Questions

The Landings at Notre Dame is a newly constructed apartment complex designed for enrolled students of Notre Dame that are married or parenting while allowing opportunities for apartment leases to newly accepted and enrolled post-baccalaureate, graduate students, and more.

The University of Notre Dame designates January – April of each year as priority housing for enrolled married & parenting to submit their application & fees for available apartments.  This means that approved applicants are processed and assigned an available apartment based on date of their application and unit availability.

Married and parenting University of Notre Dame students can begin the application process on our website beginning January 1^st of each year for the Fall move-in.  Opportunities for apartment leases to newly accepted post-baccalaureate and graduate students starts on May 1^st of each year.

In May of each year, all graduate student applicants are processed based on application submission, approval and apartment availability. 

The Landings at Notre Dame does not do roommate matching.  Additional occupants and roommates must be immediate family members or enrolled post-baccalaureate or graduate students.

Only one of you should start an application on our website so that your applications are connected.  Once you create an account and complete all of the steps, under PEOPLE Living with you within the application process is where you will add your roommate details.  You will need your roommates legal name, phone, date of birth and email address.  Once all information is entered, you will send an invitation to your roommate to complete the application process to include the background check, etc.  Please understand that permitted tenants are newly accepted and enrolled post-baccalaureate or graduate students or immediate family members.

No, only one application and reservation fee is required to complete the application.
