Incoming Students
For incoming students, the first step is to list Shepard (South Mid-Quads Hall or Shepard Residential College, NOT Shepard Hall!) as one of your top housing choices. At the end of your housing application, there will be a short essay you must write if you are applying to any residential college, including Shepard.
Current Students
For current undergraduate students at Northwestern, you can join Shepard RC by becoming a non-resident member ("non-res"). By joining Shepard as a non-res, you will join a community of diverse, friendly students whom you can meet through events like firesides, munchies and game night. You also get access to the building!
Maintaining a non-res status requires annual payment of dues, which are $40 for a whole academic year. That's much less than what residents pay annually. Click the button below to learn more or apply!
How to apply as a non-resident for Fall 2025 will be updated soon!
