What is the Good Living Portal?
The Good Living Portal provides students with access to important information and forms regarding their housing, meal plans, assignments, and roommate profiles. Currently, residents can view their room assignments and direct roommates. However, suitemates in Potomac Place, West Woods Suites, Miller Hall, Dunlop Hall, and Printz Hall are not visible at this time. To obtain their names and email contact information, please email ResidenceLife@shepherd.edu. Commuters can also use the portal to select their meal plans.
Residency Requirement
Shepherd believes living on campus is an important part of the educational experience. Therefore, all Shepherd full-time, unmarried students are required to live on campus while enrolled. For more information regarding requirement exceptions, click the link below:
Housing Assignments
To view your housing assignment, click on the “Home” tab and scroll down to the sections for room assignments and meal plans. You will see a list of any direct roommates in your space; however, suitemates or apartment-mates in the other bedroom will not be listed due to a current system limitation.
