“This is awesome! How do I join the SHC?”
We’re glad you asked. The SHC has a dual approval process. First, you need to get approved at Co-op level via our application and screening. You’ll then move onto getting approved at the House/s you like the best!
Get an application for the Co-op by emailing memberservices@spartan.coop
Here are your steps to joining our Co-op:
-
Check out our Current Availability and contact us for an application.
-
While you wait for your application to process (takes up to 3 business days), tour houses virtually on our website.
-
If accepted by the Co-op application as a prospective member, contact Membership Officers of the houses you’re interested in touring!
-
Tour the houses you’re interested in getting approval for to learn more about Co-op living. Tours must be scheduled; you can contact the Membership Officer of whichever Co-op you’d like to see.
-
Go to a house dinner and a house meeting at the houses you like.
-
Wait to hear from the House’s Membership Officer about the status of your approval.
-
If approved by a house, make an appointment with MSU SHC office to sign for your favorite one! Upon signing, you’ll pay Shares and Dues of $515.00 and go through a contract orientation.
Microloans available for Shares and Dues through MSU Federal Credit Union for those who qualify.

Voila! You are a member-owner of the MSU SHC!
