How do I get a housing assignment or let you know that I will be commuting for classes?
ENC students complete either the Campus Housing or Commuter Application to inform the Housing Office of housing plans. This has an impact on your student bill, so it is important to complete the appropriate application as soon as possible to ensure an accurate bill. Whether you will be a residential student or commuter student, you will find lots of helpful information and help guides in the Housing and Res Life Resource Center. Please email housing@enc.edu or call 617-745-3718 with any questions or if you run into any trouble.

Freshman residents are not permitted to bring vehicles on campus. Commuter students and transfer students will need to register your car with Security. You may reach Security at security@enc.edu or 617-745-3911.

How do I get my textbooks?
We work with a textbook supplier, Slingshot, to manage getting the textbooks and online materials you will need for classes so that everything should be ready for you to pick up or access when you come to campus in August. The slingshot portal will let you view required textbooks and materials for your classes, access digital textbooks, view shipping status, request return shipping labels, and find other helpful information.
