Returning Residents (Returners)
- ISU students who live on-campus during the spring semester and who want to return to campus housing for the next year.
Summer Contracts - New Admits and Returners who wish to live on-campus for the summer term.

Basic StarRez Tips

Be on a computer. In other words, not your phone or tablet. While StarRez will work on a mobile device, connection speeds are sometimes slower, especially if you are using cellular service to connect.
Use a wired connection. While it may seem stone-age, if connecting wirelessly isn't working for you, try plugging into an Ethernet jack.
Update your browser. StarRez supports the following browsers: Chrome 46+, Edge 14+, Firefox 45+, Internet Explorer 11+, Safari 9+.
- It won’t support older versions, so if you haven't updated your browser in a while, you could experience problems.
