See How Easy It Is To Build a Housing Application In Housing.Cloud

Assigning students to housing is a big job. Creating a housing application shouldn't be.

Residence life and student housing offices already have enormous amounts on their plates, from budgets to accessibility and beyond. It can be hard enough to keep up with the application process year to year. The thought of switching systems can be overwhelming. But what if there was a solution that saved time — not just in the long run, but right now?

Introducing Housing.Cloud's Application Builder

In the 21st century, there's no excuse for a complicated form builder. Apps like Google Forms are everywhere, and for good reason. Nearly anyone can use them, and they require zero training or tech expertise.

Housing.Cloud believes in the power of that model. We created our entire platform to have the shortest learning curve possible, and the application builder is no exception.

Self-Service Form Editing

At Housing.Cloud, we know residence life teams don't have hours to spend on the phone with customer support. That's why our application builder is completely DIY. Click on "Create Form" to get started.

Customizable Applications

Housing.Cloud lets schools create personalized applications and forms. The builder looks and functions like Google Forms, so all users need to do is click and type.

Create a form and add sections with a single click. Sections organize an application so it looks great for users, and admins can get the data they need. 

Each section is plug-and-play. Admins only have to choose the type of element they want to add and then customize the question and response. Element options allow for any entry a housing administrator might need, such as:

• Text boxes

• Checkboxes

• Date selectors

• File upload buttons

• Value range sliders

Multi-choice options are important to today's students. College students today expect personalization in everything, and they don't want to force themselves into narrow labels. With elements such as sliders and multi-option checkboxes, they don't have to. For instance, a student can slide a toggle to indicate that they're neither introverted nor extroverted, but somewhere in between.

Admins can also add tags to different types of responses to make matching easier. Let's say a housing director wants to see every student with a dust allergy at a glance. They can create a tag for that characteristic, and every time a student selects that option, the platform will add their profile to a dedicated list.

Multiple Applications And Forms In One Place

Housing.Cloud's application builder puts all student forms and applications at administrators' fingertips. There's no limit to the number of applications a department can create. With Housing.Cloud, departments can work on multiple semesters or programs at once and click easily between them — no more switching between programs or moving files between platforms.

All forms are fully customizable and accept attachments. Plus, as the only housing platform with digital signature capability, Housing.Cloud lets schools collect signed documents alongside applications. No more linking out to third-party digital signature websites or chasing students down by email.
