“My freshman year I showed up from Colorado and I knew nobody that went to this school.

Visit HOUSING.ILLINOIS.EDU/UNDERGRADHALLS to view 3-D room layouts, floor plans, furniture specifications, and room dimensions. Visit YOUTUBE.COM/UOFIHOUSING for tours of all the halls and the living-learning communities. SIGNING UP FOR YOUR ROOM First-year students are required to live in University-approved housing. You get to choose your own room — even as a new student. We guarantee housing for all incoming students.

Signing up is easy! With our simple process, you can pick a specific hall, room, and roommate in the online housing contract.

Visit HOUSING.ILLINOIS.EDU/APPLY to start your online contract.

BEFORE MAY 15

Accept your offer of admission, wait 24 hours, then go online and complete your contract. A $50 non-refundable application fee and $150 advanced payment must be paid to complete your contract. Students who received an Admissions application fee waiver are eligible to receive a University Housing application fee waiver.

You have the best chance of getting your preferred space, living-learning community, or special living option if you complete your contract by the May 15 priority deadline.

If you complete your contract before May 15, you’ll be assigned a random entry time in late May to choose your room and meal plan.

LATE MAY

When your random entry time arrives, log in to your contract. Choose the exact room you want from the available inventory. Then choose a meal plan.

Make changes anytime until housing selection closes in mid-June.

LATE JUNE

We’ll send you a notice that confirms your room selection and the name of your roommate.

EVEN IF YOU MISS THE MAY 15 PRIORITY DEADLINE, WE’LL STILL HAVE A SPACE FOR YOU.

University Housing will pick a room and roommate for you based on the available space and the location preferences you provide in the online contract. We’ll send you a confirmation when your assignment is made.

Why Random? We assign entry times in random order so that all students who meet the May 15 priority deadline have an equal chance of getting their preference no matter when they are admitted or accept their offer of admission. SELECTING YOUR ROOMMATE KNOW YOUR ROOMMATE ALREADY?

Indicate your roommate preference before May 15 and you’ll both be assigned the same random entry time so that you can choose your room at the same time. Both roommates need to select a room during the same entry time. If you and your preferred roommate want to live together in a living-learning community, both of you need to list that community location in your preferences and complete the essay question.

DON’T HAVE A ROOMMATE YET?

Lifestyle questions in the online contract will help you match with potential roommates. Use our email feature to send messages to other students to learn more about living together before requesting to be roommates.

DON’T HAVE A PREFERENCE?

Place yourself in a double room with one open bed space to be paired with an unknown roommate. You can also place yourself in a double room that isn’t occupied and allow an unknown roommate to select the other space. CHOOSING A LIVING- LEARNING COMMUNITY (LLC) To receive priority consideration to live in an LLC, indicate your preference before the May 15 priority deadline and complete the LLC essay. If you are approved to be placed in an LLC, you’ll get a special early entry time to select your room in the community. We’ll send you a notice that confirms your LLC room selection and the name of your roommate in late June.

If you have a roommate in mind, both of you need to list the same LLC as a preference and complete the essay.

If you don’t get approved to be placed in an LLC in May, you can check back in early June after all the assigned entry times have occurred to see if your preferred LLC has space available.

Need a Special Accommodation? If you need a special accommodation because of a disability or medical need, let us know in your online contract under the personal contacts and details section. Missed that part? Just email us at [email protected] or visit HOUSING.ILLINOIS.EDU/ADA for more information.
