Students can access Augusta University’s Off-Campus Marketplace which provides alternative housing options, a roommate search, amenities, resources on public transit and transportation, and renter education.

Below are additional housing options for students to explore, which are not listed on the AU Off-Campus Marketplace.  We encourage students to ask about monthly student specials at each location.

These locations are:

• Millhouse Station Apartments

We suggest students utilize their Financial Aid refund to put towards housing.

A financial aid refund is any aid money you have beyond what your school bills you for tuition, fees, and other costs required to attend the school. These leftover financial aid funds are paid out to you within a few weeks of the start of classes.

Additionally, Augusta University provides a great student-work program that help supplement a student's income.

You can check if you are eligible for a Financial Aid refund by logging into Pounce.

We have a step-by-step guide that explains how to check your refund amount and setting up how it’s dispersed back to you. Linked Guide here provides step-by-step instructions, if needed.

Additionally, the AU Office of Financial Aid can also provide you with this amount. Contact them Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at 706-737-1524 or email them at osfa@augusta.edu

No, Augusta University honors one-year housing contracts for both the Fall and Spring semester. So, you will only be able to apply for on-campus housing for the following academic year once those housing applications open at end of this upcoming Fall 2026 semester.

Students that do not have their own mode of transportation that are searching for off-campus housing are recommended to carpool and search for roommates with their own vehicles. Additionally, the City of Augusta also provides public transit throughout the city. Once the student is on campus, they can take advantage of AU’s free shuttle service, JagExpress.
