Housing at UIC is safe, affordable, and comfortable as well as being centrally located near the heart of the city. UIC Campus Housing offers many housing options to fit your housing needs.
Our facilities options on our east, south, and west sides of campus include:
- traditional-style rooms with a community bathroom on each floor
- suite-style rooms are a combination of private and shared (2-person) occupancy units which share a small suite bathroom within their own private suite
- apartment-style units provide everyone with their own private bedroom, sharing the common spaces within the unit
Each room is equipped with a twin bed, desk, and chair for each participant. Wheelchair accessible rooms are also available upon request. For more information on our various residence halls, explore our website further in order to view photos of the different buildings and housing options we have available to offer.
Individual rooms are cleaned prior to a group’s arrival. It is the responsibility of all conference guests to keep the units cleaned. However, our housekeeping staff perform daily cleaning of public areas and community bathrooms.

Smoking
UIC is a tobacco and cannabis-free campus. Smoking of any kind is prohibited in all residence halls and campus buildings. This includes all types of e-cigarettes, vaporizers, and hookahs.
Posting & Advertising
Any posters or signs should be affixed with painter’s tape. UIC Conference Staff will gladly assist in posting signage for your group. Please contact the Conference Administrator directly for assistance.
Facility Condition Reports
Pre-room condition reports and common area damage reports are completed by UIC Conferences staff prior to the guests arrival. Any damage incurred during a group’s stay is the financial responsibility of the sponsoring organization.
Personal Property
It is suggested that all guests lock their rooms when not occupied and carry their room key with them. UIC is not responsible for the loss of money or valuables belonging to any person or for loss or damage to an individual’s property. Provisions for storing luggage and other personal property of guests are not available.
Additional Charges
There are additional charges for lost keys and lost linen (per item for sheets, towels, washcloths, pillows and blankets. Keys can cost up to $350 to replace). All charges, in addition to any room damages and/or building damages, are billed directly to the conference group. The UIC Meetings and Conferences Office does not bill individuals.
