Fall 2022

We are so excited to bring everyone to campus this year for in-person classes and activities. There will be a few steps to complete before you arrive for the start of the Fall 2022 semester. Should you have any questions regarding the information below, please contact the Dean of Students Office at 330.569.5233. Check back closer to August for more updates!

Before starting classes at Hiram, all new students (even students who choose to commute) must complete a Housing contract. This contract is included in online orientation or in the pre-orientation steps (for students completing In-Person Orientation).

There are two dates that new first-time students can sign up for housing at Hiram. Students who have deposited and completed their housing contract by May 30 may be in the first round of housing selection on June 10.

Students completing the housing contract after May 30 may be in the second round of housing sign-ups on July 8. We will send more information about the room selection process and your sign-up date and time in early June.
