I lived in a graduate residence on campus where I paid monthly rent. It was not a lump sum room and board payment paid with loans. Can I add this to my rented homestead?

Looks like the answer is NO.

"If your housing is exempt from property tax and no service fee is paid, you are not eligible for a credit. This includes university- or college-owned housing."

See "Rent Eligible for Credit" in this reference:  https://www.michigan.gov/documents/taxes/MI-1040CR_instructions_642358_7.pdf
