Housing Contracts
August 7, 2026: All students with completed contracts have been assigned. Please check your email and view your assignment via My Housing Information! Spring 2027 Contracts will start to be released in early November.

May 1, 2026: University Housing is no longer accepting Residence Hall Contracts for the 2026-27 academic year. Students without a submitted contract or exemption have been automatically exempted from the UWM Residency Requirement and may explore other housing options through the Off-Campus Resource Center.

University Housing remains full for Fall 2026, and we have not yet begun offering contracts to students on the residence hall waitlist. If you are still interested in living on campus, please join the waitlist through the Housing Portal. Contracts will be offered if spaces become available.

The University Housing Service Desks are located in the lobbies of all University Housing Facilities. Service Desks are open 24 hours a day, when their buildings are open (year-round in Cambridge, Kenilworth, and Sandburg).

The following services are provided for residents:

  • Lock changes and key-ins (fee may apply).
  • Facilitating purchases of Ethernet cables and replacement guest passes.
  • Coordinating lost and found items.
  • Check-out of the following items: community kitchen key-in access, recreational sporting equipment, board games, and cooking utensils. (resident must present their Panther ID)
  • Loading money onto PantherCa$h accounts.
  • Secured entry to all University Housing Facilities via Panther ID check and staffing of Tower monitors in Sandburg.
