Beginning with the Fall 21 semster, all contracts are submitted in StarRez. When you will submit your contract depends on what type of student you are:
- Newly Admitted Students (New Admits)
- Freshmen, transfer, and graduate students who will attend ISU for the first time at the start of their contract.
- 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.

When you submit a contract you are saying you have read and accepted the Terms and Conditions and you commit to live on-campus during the specified contract period.The below documents establish the DOR Housing and Dining Contract:

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.
