Room Signup

UF Fall / Spring and Innovation Academy students now have the option to select their own rooms and roommate on the MyHousing Portal if they have a completed Housing Contract and submit their $200 pre-rent payment. Room selection is based on the student housing application date (the date you submitted your UF housing application and $25 non-refundable housing application fee). Students do not have to select their own room, and can wait to be manually assigned by the UF Housing Assignments team. However, note that preferences are not guaranteed or likely if you wait to be manually assigned.

Students can change rooms as many times as they like until room sign-up for the contract period is closed or they are billed for housing (whichever comes first). Students with a completed housing contract and pre-rent payment are GUARANTEED a space provided for the contract period by UF Housing. Our office will notify students if availability becomes limited and we begin to manually assign students to rooms. Also view the UF Housing Facebook and Twitter pages for large numbers of rooms becoming available due to cancelations.

Please see each term for specific dates and details:
