UW-Parkside: Residence Life

2010-2011 Application Information

Procedures

New Students:

Undergraduate students are sent a housing packet in the mail usually a few weeks after they have been admitted to the University. Assignments are made on a first-come, first-serve basis, so it is to your advantage to send your housing contract and $50 deposit to us as soon as possible. Specific instructions on how to complete the application are included with the packet.

Assignments are made in the early part of the summer, and most students are sent their room assignments and roommate information around the first of July. Contracts received after that time are assigned as time and spaces permit.

Returning Students:

Students who are currently living in the residence halls will be sent information in January regarding the room reapplication process for the following academic year. Students can guarantee the room of their choice by returning a housing and dining contract with a $50.00 deposit during Reapplication Week. Students may sign up for their same room, a different room on the same floor/same apartment, a different room in their present hall, or a different room in either hall. Those students wishing to switch from a double room to a single room can add their name to a lottery drawing based on class rank.
