Important considerations - please read carefully Heading link
- Applying for Campus Housing requires a $50 non-refundable application fee that is paid online at the time of submission. For current Campus Housing residents that are applying for the future term (academic year), the application fee is waived.
- Application to Campus Housing is the first step in becoming a Housing resident. Following application, room selection will allow applicants to see vacant rooms/bedspaces and select from available spaces.
- Room selection for the 2023-2024 academic year will begin in March 2023 for current residents and in early June for new Housing applicants.
- All application and assignment related information will be sent to Housing applicants at their UIC email address (yournetid@uic.edu).
- Following room selection, applicants will be required to sign their Housing contract to secure that selected room. If an applicant does not sign the Housing contract, the selected room/bedspace will become available to other applicants taking part in room selection.
- Roommate requests are honored if they are:
- Mutual matching requests
- Both applicants have fully completed their application process at the time of room selection
