Frequently Asked Questions
Having questions is completely normal. Below is a list of some of Housing’s most frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions that are not answered please email contacthousing@ufsa.ufl.edu.
Residence Halls
Application
Is Housing Guaranteed
On-campus housing is not guaranteed. We encourage students and potential students to apply as early as possible to secure an earlier priority date for building selection.
Should you apply for housing before being admitted
Yes, You are able to apply for housing through the application status page when you apply to the university. It is encouraged to apply as early as possible. When you apply you secure your spot in line to select your preferred living location. Please note, there is a $25 non-refundable deposit when you apply for housing.
When Housing Agreement is due
Each student has at least two weeks to complete their housing agreement to secure campus housing. To complete the agreement, students must accept the terms and conditions and make the $225 advance rent payment. Please note, completing your housing agreement does not confirm your admission to UF. You will need to confirm your admission by May 1st with the Admission’s Office.
Does Admission term impact Housing
In short, yes. But we do offer options. For Fall admitted students all residence halls are open. Once you are assigned a hall and room, that is your home for the Fall and Spring semesters.
For Summer B admitted students you have 2 options.
Full First-Year Housing
This is one of the most popular options as it allows you to stay in the same room for Summer B, Fall, and Spring semesters. This is also the easiest since you will only have to move once*.
*Summer B students participating in LLCs in halls that are not open for the summer may have to move out and back in for the Fall semester.
Summer B Only and/or Fall-Spring Housing
This option is perfect for students who wish to live in one residence hall over Summer and a new one in the Fall and Spring semesters. With this option, students should plan to move all of their belongings out at the end of the Summer and bring them back at the beginning of the Fall semester.

If no roommate can you be placed with an upper level student
