Complete your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) survey
- You'll receive a unique link to complete your survey in your Austin College email inbox.
- Log in using your Austin College username and password. If you haven't already set up your password, follow these steps.
- After you complete the survey, your results will be emailed to you within 24 hours. This email contains the four-letter personality type that you will need for your residence hall occupancy contract.
- You will need to complete the MBTI even if you’ve taken it before, but do not need to complete it if you are living at home with your parents.
Submit your online residence hall contract no later than May 15
- After you complete the MBTI survey and receive your results, submit your contract.
- Reference our online walk-through of the housing contract, if you have questions as you complete your form.
- Our Student Life Office prioritizes assignments based on the date they receive your survey and contract. Residence hall and roommate assignments cannot be made until your online housing contract and MBTI survey are received. If you have a roommate preference, both parties must indicate this preference by emailing studentlife@austincollege.edu by May 15. Please refer to the Residence Life page on the College’s website for more details.
After you submit the housing contract, log in to your Student Hub to see the additional forms that you need to complete.

- This meal plan grants you unlimited access to the dining hall between the hours of 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. every day.
