First-time Freshmen
After you complete an application for admission to UF, the Housing Office will send you information about applying for housing online. If you wish to live on campus, complete the online application, which includes payment of a $25 nonrefundable application fee (via secure credit card transaction), to establish a Housing Application Date.
Note: The receipt of a housing application is not an indication of admission status, nor does applying for campus housing guarantee an offer of residence hall space. If you are admitted to UF, and based on your Housing Application Date, the Department of Housing & Residence Education will send information to complete the online Residence Hall Contract if space is available. To secure campus housing, you must complete the online contract and return the contract identification form with advance rent payment by the due date specified.
Transfer Students
After you complete an application for admission to UF and receive your UFID Number, you may apply online for campus housing. Completing the application includes payment of a $25 nonrefundable application fee (via secure credit card transaction) and establishes your Housing Application Date. After you are formally admitted to UF, Housing & Residence Education will send information to complete an online Residence Hall Contract if space is available. Note: limited fall housing is available for transfer students.
Continuing Residents
If the number of requests by campus residents exceeds the number of spaces allotted, a "lottery" is held mid Spring Semester. This lottery drawing determines who will be offered a Residence Hall Contract for the following academic year.
